We know that everything worthwhile is done with other people.
Third Wave Fund is proud to be part of an evolving and growing ecosystem of philanthropic initiatives working together to best support, resource, and defend frontline movements for justice and liberation.
Here are just a few of the coalitions, memberships, and pledges we’ve committed to as a by-and-for intermediary funder.
Coalitions
Block and Build Coalition
The Block and Build Coalition (BBFC) is currently the largest U.S.-based coalition of funders, donors, and philanthropy-serving organizations organizing to resist authoritarianism, defend movements for justice, and safeguard civil liberties.
Pledges
The GUTC Pledge
As a grantmaker committed to the wellbeing of transgender communities in the U.S., we pledge to 1) participate in trainings and professional development opportunities focused on supporting trans communities; 2) improve our recruitment and retention of trans and gender non-conforming staff and board members; 3) increase our grantmaking for trans communities with a commitment to trans-led organizations; and 4) publicly express our support for and solidarity with all trans communities.
Trans Futures Funding Campaign
The Trans Futures Funding Campaign (TFFC) is a coordinated philanthropic organizing strategy led by trans grantmakers who have joined together to call for $10 million in new funding to invest boldly and deeply in local trans organizations.
