Emergency Assistance Grants, Southern Healers support, and project funding for TDOR

Friends –

Our team is sending love and support to everyone across the LGBTQ South, especially those who continue to be impacted disproportionately by the hardships of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. If you have not yet, we encourage you to get vaccinated, which is the best way to protect yourself and your family from COVID-19.

Today we are opening a new round of grants through our Southern Equality Fund ([link removed]) . Read about each of the grant rounds in detail below.

The new rounds include Emergency Assistance Grants from our COVID-19 Rapid Response Grant Program, which provide support to help Southerners with rent, food, medical expenses and other necessities. If you live in Western NC, please apply for a $250 grant using this link ([link removed]) . Haz clic aqui para aplicar en español ([link removed]) . These Western NC grants are graciously supported by the WNC Bridge Foundation. If you live anywhere else in the South, apply for a grant using this link ([link removed]) .

Special Grant Round: Southern Healers

Our team has also been so inspired to see innovative healing efforts led by LGBTQI Indigenous, Black, and Brown Southerners – and now, we’re excited to host a special grant round. This $10,000 Southern Healers Special Grant Round will distribute grants of up to $500 to organizing and healing efforts led by Indigenous, Black, and Brown LGBTQI Southerners.

We define healers broadly to include therapists, counselors, social workers, healers, addiction specialists, life coaches, body workers, yoga instructors, reiki masters, energy healers and other wellness practitioners.

Do you know a BIPOC-led healing effort in your community, or are you a healer or practitioner yourself that could use grant support? Submit nominations here. ([link removed])
