Trans Sistas of Color Project exists to uplift, impact and influence the lives and welfare of transgender women of color in Detroit. Through self-defense courses, GED course, annual gatherings, and continued grassroots fundraising, Trans Sistas of Color Project directly supports trans women in Detroit through a myriad of direct services, participatory action research, and long-term organizing efforts.
The Grow Power Fund (2017-2023) provided a multi-year grant for general operating, capacity building, and organizational development support.
The Sex Worker Giving Circle (2019-2020 and 2021-2022) provided two-year grants to support T-GRLS! (Trans Women Getting Real Legal Services), an annual program that will give trans women of color living in Detroit tangible education and skills to advocate for themselves or to help other trans women as they navigate legal systems.
