It’s Grant Season! 

It’s autumn and the Effing Foundation’s 2021-2022 grant application cycle is in full swing! After pausing our grant cycle in 2020 (due to the pandemic) we’re excited to welcome everyone back. 

For this grant cycle, Effing is offering $5,000 grants to support the work of sex-positive artists and educators. The funds are unrestricted, meaning they can be used by recipients in any way that’s directly related to supporting your work or project. Members of marginalized communities (LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, fat people, people with physical and emotional disabilities, neurodiverse people, sex workers, those living with chronic illness, currently or formerly incarcerated people) are all encouraged to apply.

Grant applications close on October 3, 2021

Grant applications are currently being accepted, with applications closing on October 3, 2021, at 11:59pm US Eastern time. Grants can be submitted on The Effing Foundation’s Submittable Page. Please note: All grant submissions must be completed and submitted by the Oct. 3 deadline in order to be considered. 

If you’re a previous Effing grant recipient and want to apply for another grant, please email [email protected] for a link to the appropriate grant application.
