The TRAPs Mutual Aid fund has become the Movement Transfeminist’s Mutual Aid initiative

The direct aid program put in place by TRAPs in 2023 continues to grow, its management now covered by the Movement for Transfeminism (MtF).

It currently is composed of four (4) submission rounds per year and typically awards between $200 and $500 to 6 to 10 people in each round. It provides financial support to transfeminine people in often extremely precarious situations (homelessness, no income, debt, domestic violence, mental health problems, disabilities, etc.). We manage to finance this program through voluntary contributions, one-off donations and fundraising.

The applications are open to trans women and transfeminized people with urgent needs without access to stable and sufficient income. We first prioritize individuals active in liberation struggles aligned with Movement for Transfeminism revendications, then Black, Indigenous and racialized individuals.
