Grant applications are open! 

Happy Autumn! It’s time for pumpkin spice lattes and the start of the Effing Foundation’s 2022-2023 grant cycle!

On September 1, 2022, the Effing Foundation began accepting applications for this year’s grant cycle. Our unrestricted grants directly support the sex-positive work of artists and educators from underrepresented and traditionally marginalized groups. Past grant recipients have included some amazing humans, including Midori, Hans Lindahl, and The Black Trans Prayer Book. 

Please visit https://effingfoundation.submittable.com/submit to submit your application. Applications close on October 3, 2022, at 11:59pm EST. We recommend that you start your application before the deadline, in the event that you run into issues or have questions. Please note: No deadline extensions will be granted.
