The Emerging LGBTQ Leaders of Color Fund (ELLC Fund)* supports young trans and queer leaders of color and the organizations they lead to build inclusive and impactful social justice movements. The ELLC Fund invests in leaders who understand that issues of injustice do not exist in isolation from one another, and thus work to address the intersections of harm and inequity by building community power. Young queer, trans, and gender-nonconforming leaders of color are at the cutting edge of visionary organizing that wins victories for ALL communities, leaving no one behind.

In order to support young queer and trans leaders of color, the ELLC Fund provides two primary types of support: 1) general operating support grants, and 2) young trans women of color leadership grants.

*Formerly the Transforming Movements Fund.
