Funding for Anti Violence Program for Trans Latinas

Grant Funding Opportunity and Request for Proposal (“RFP”) for Violence Prevention & Intervention Services for Monolingual Trans Latinas in the Mission

The San Francisco Human Rights Commission is soliciting proposals that effectively address and eliminate the violence currently being perpetrated against transgender Latinas (“trans Latinas”) in the City and County of San Francisco.

San Francisco has long been a safe haven for people who have faced discrimination, exclusion and violence. Despite this reputation, many residents continue to experience violence and lack support in seeking relief from this violence. One such community in San Francisco involves transgender Latinas (“trans Latinas”). Trans Latinas, particularly those who are monolingual, face a wide range of barriers in achieving true safety in San Francisco. The purpose of this RFP is to solicit proposals from San Francisco 501(c)(3) nonprofit community-based organizations that are interested in effectively addressing and eliminating the transphobic violence currently being perpetrated against trans Latinas in San Francisco by local institutions, businesses, strangers, family and intimate partners.

December 1, 2013 – November 30, 2014: $200,000
