Building our Futures by Resourcing the Present Third Wave Fund | Year in Review 2022

A Letter from the Co-Directors

Dear community,

It’s hard to believe how quickly five years can come and go. It was around this time four years ago that we were slowly stepping into our new leadership roles, writing our debut letter to you, and gearing up to resource gender justice movements more deeply than ever before.

What we knew was that we had a duty to meet our movements in a moment of extremes, rising up against white supremacy, fascism, and emboldened accomplices. In 2019, our first year as Co-Directors, our team broke one million dollars in grantmaking for the first time in Third Wave history, outraising our projected budget by $870,000. We began a strategic planning process, implemented our first values-aligned participatory budgeting process, and began piloting the Accountable Futures Fund, a new fund to resource organizations looking to resolve conflict in ways that create sustainable alternatives to police, prison, and other carceral systems.

We still get chills when we look back at our 2019 Year in Review, released in February of 2020. Our opening letter ended with the following words: “2020 will not be an easy year — but our ask of you is simple: Will you continue to stick with movements led by women of color, queer, trans, and intersex young folks for the long-haul, no matter what is thrown our way?” Thrown our way just one month later was the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic, followed by some of the largest uprisings for Black lives in our time. We remain proud of the ways our team made space for the collective grief, anger, and fear that followed. We carved out space for those struggles and found innovative ways to show up for each other in order to continue meeting our movements in these newly compounded extremes.

That year, we broke another record and moved over two million dollars in grantmaking, reallocating every spare dollar we had available from our travel and event budgets, with 85% of rapid response dollars towards COVID-19 relief and mutual aid work taking place across the country. 2021 saw the same two million dollars in grantmaking, this time with the addition of several new staff members and the seeding of the Disability Frontlines Fund, another by-and-for grantmaking area to resource disability justice organizers, artists, and cultural workers.

A lot of that work in the midst of collective grief was possible because we already had many of the necessary pandemic-related adjustments in place. Remote work, a four-day work week, and spacious work plans that held room for sickness and extended time off had been in place years prior, thanks to the labor of disabled staff, grantees, and advisors. When you grow your operations with the intention and care that you believe everyone should have access to, we all get closer to the abundant and liberated futures we’re so deeply striving for.

It was always the plan for us to lead Third Wave for five years before passing the baton on to new leadership. We entered this role with intentionality and goals: to grow Third Wave’s financial stability, to build the team’s infrastructure for sustainability, and to embark on a strategic, five-year plan to guide us forward into record-breaking grantmaking. With all of that in action, we enter our fifth year of leadership joyfully reflecting on 2022 – our 25th anniversary, moving nearly $3 million to 97 organizations, collaborations, and coalitions in every region of the U.S.

“Even when philanthropy isn’t built for us, we need to be lockpickers on gatekeeping wherever it exists.” Those words said in our debut leadership letter are worth repeating. We must continue to pick locks, break down doors, build new tables, make way for new by-and-for leadership, and collectively ensure they have the support they need to succeed. We need you to continue planting the seeds for the next five years of resourcing grassroots movements that are multi-issue, community-led and unapologetically queer, trans, intersex, and sex worker-led. Just look at how far we’ve come together already.

Thank you to our Grantees, Advisors, Fellows, and Advisory Council members for holding us accountable and in step with our movements, to our staff for their continued brilliance and labor, and to our donors, funders, supporters, and amplifiers who make Third Wave’s resourcing work possible.

In solidarity,

Ana Conner and Kiyomi Fujikawa

Meaningful Moments in 2022

25 Years of Third Wave Fund: If you missed our 25th anniversary event, Radical Journey, Powerful Futures last June, we premiered a brand new video commemorating our 25th year of resourcing gender justice movements. We invite you to take in some super special stories from rad collaborators we’ve had the honor of supporting and working with over the years. Watch/listen in English (with ASL interpretation) or Spanish.

New Funding Area: We announced the Disability Frontlines Fund, a new grantmaking area at Third Wave Fund, and our inaugural grantee cohort! The new fund will distribute $960,250 per year for two years across 14 organizations and four individuals.

Increasing Multi-Year Funding: Joining the Grow Power Fund, the Own Our Power Fund, the Disability Frontlines Fund, and the Sex Worker Giving Circle in multi-year funding commitments is the Accountable Futures Fund, which officially shifted from a one-year grant program to a five-year grant program. Long-term funding is a critical commitment to the sustainability and longevity of our movements, and you can be a part of it!

Disrupting Philanthropy: In collaboration with SWGC grantees Kua’ana Project at Hawai’i Health & Harm Reduction Center, SWOP Los Angeles, and Support Ho(s)e, the Sex Worker Giving Circle co-published the March 2022 issue of the NCRP’s Journal on Responsive Philanthropy. This issue, titled, “From the Frontlines: Understanding Sex Worker-led Movements,” focused on taking philanthropy to task and increasing the quantity and quality of funding and support for sex worker-led organizing.

Recognition: Our Co-Director Kiyomi Fujikawa received the Reed Erickson Award for Trailblazing Philanthropic Leadership, honoring Kiyomi’s leadership in furthering trans issues and grantmaking in philanthropy. We were honored to be a selected recipient of a $3 million dollar unrestricted donation from MacKenzie Scott, the largest individual donation we’ve received in our 25+ year history. Essence Magazine also included us in their list of 7 Black LGBT+ Mutual Aid Groups to Support During Pride Month!

Transitions and Growth: We hired four new staff members to increase our organization’s capacity and sustainability, including Rachel Caïdor as Program Officer for both the Grow Power Fund & the Own Our Power Fund, Jillian Jacobs as Development Associate, Pati Morales as Sex Worker Giving Circle Program Associate (now SWGC Program Officer as of January 2023!), and Sylvia Jung as Development Officer, General Support. We also want to give an honorable mention to Agustina Vidal, who started with Third Wave in 2021 as Administrative Assistant and is now our very first Director of People, Culture, and Operations!

Mobilize Power Fund

In 2022, the Mobilize Power Fund awarded $425,000 to 40 groups, a 6% increase from 2021. The Mobilize Power Fund is a rapid response fund that resources gender justice organizations to adapt or pivot their work when met with unanticipated, time-sensitive opportunities or threats to their movement building work and organizing conditions. Prospective grantees can apply by written application, video, or phone.

In 2022, we continued to see the necessity of flexible and time-sensitive funding that was both responsive in moments of shift, change, and/or crisis, and proactive in prioritizing movements, communities, and issues that faced continued attack and divestment. Flexibility in rapid response funding allowed us to fund a wide range of projects and strategies - from survivor defense organizing to organizing around abortion access to mutual aid and microgrants to sex workers impacted by COVID and QTBIPOC people impacted by Hurricane Fiona and beyond. Unique to 2022 was the theme of endurance and supporting groups in responding to unexpected shifts, pivots, and adaptations in their work, including responding to burn out, interpersonal conflict, and the need to pause for healing, reflection, and repair.

Grantee Highlight: #StandWithTracy Community Defense Team, Brooklyn, NY | March 2022 Grantee

Through digital organizing, grassroots fundraising, political education and action, the #StandWithTracy Community Defense Team won their campaign to have charges dropped against criminalized survivor, Tracy McCarter! Tracy continues to receive community care and healing support and there is continued organizing to ensure that ALL charges are dropped.

Own Our Power Fund

In 2022, the Own Our Power Fund at Third Wave awarded $291,875 to 11 groups. The Own Our Power Fund makes one- and two-year capacity-building grants for projects that seek to increase the agency that communities have over their organizations by supporting leadership, sustainability, and self-representation.

Grantee Highlight: Sovereign Bodies Institute, Billings, MT | 2021-2023 Grantee

Sovereign Bodies Institute distributed services and direct material support to over 80 survivors of gender violence in 2022. Their funds were rapidly depleted last calendar year as they expanded their direct support to include providing firewood for survivors on the reservation, in light of at least five community members freezing to death on the reservation last year. You can read their report on enhancing responses to Intimate and Domestic Partner Violence and Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two Spirit People of California During the COVID-19 Pandemic in their report, They Failed to Protect Me.

Grow Power Fund

In 2022, the Grow Power Fund awarded $506,700 to 12 groups. The Grow Power Fund provides up to six years of holistic support inclusive of general operating support, capacity-building resources, organizational development coaching, and annual convenings.

This year we brought on Rachel Caïdor as our new Program Officer for the Grow Power Fund. With the help of former Advisory Council member Julia Lukomnik, we completed a report outlining lessons learned from our first six years of providing multi-year funding, being released in April of 2023! We brought on five new grantees, including two organizations focused on trans safety and organizing, a reproductive justice organization in Nevada, a sex worker-led organizing project, and an intergenerational Southern education justice group. We also hosted a two-day virtual convening for Grow Power Fund grantees.

Grantee Highlight: TAKE Resource Center, Birmingham, AL | 2019-2025 Grantee

Transgender Advocates Knowledgeable Empowering [TAKE] Resource Center purchased a property this year that will support services and housing for trans people in Birmingham! Their grand opening will take place in 2023. Additionally, 20 TAKE members successfully completed the Owning Our Power Leadership Academy at TAKE’s Monica Roberts Freedom School.

Sex Worker Giving Circle

In 2022, Fellows from the Sex Worker Giving Circle (SWGC) awarded $605,250 to 25 groups, a 7% increase from our funding in 2021. The SWGC is a cross-class, multi-racial, intergenerational giving circle made up of a group of Fellows with current or past experience with sex work or the sex trade. The Fellows make all high-level funding decisions and grantmaking recommendations, and contribute to our fundraising activities.

2022 was a growth year beyond just grantmaking for the SWGC. When Christian Giraldo was promoted to SWGC Program officer, we brought on Pati Morales, a former Fellow, to be our new Program Associate! We also expanded the Fellowship to invite back Senior Fellows, and systematized our ongoing support throughout curriculum and grantmaking processes by bringing on a Wellness Consultant.

And in the media, in addition to the NCRP journal takeover highlighted in Meaningful Moments, we also collaborated with grantees MO Ho Justice and a Fellow for a profile of the giving circle in Inside Philanthropy, and chatted with Yarrow Global for an interview highlighting the SWGC’s resourcing of wealth decolonization.

Grantee Highlight: Support Ho(s)e Collective, Chicago, IL | 2018-2023 Grantee

Guided by the principles of feminism, solidarity, prison abolition, and a world free of criminalization and fear, Support Ho(s)e focuses on getting sex workers and survivors out of cages. In 2022, they celebrated the one year anniversary of their comrade Alisha Walker’s release from prison, following a successful “Justice for Alisha Walker” Defense Campaign.

Accountable Futures Fund

In 2022, the Accountable Futures Fund committed to $696,500 in multi-year grants to nine groups, with $174,400 being distributed in 2022. The Accountable Futures Fund provides general operating support grants to grassroots organizations who are developing the fields of transformative justice, restorative justice, and community accountability. This means funding organizations whose work is building up the skills and capacity of their communities to respond to harm and violence in ways that create sustainable alternatives to the police, prison, and other carceral systems.

It was a big and exciting year for the Accountable Futures Fund! We onboarded our first Advisory Council, shifted into a multi-year grant structure, and facilitated our fourth year of grantmaking.

For our Advisory Council, we brought on five organizers and practitioners with deep and meaningful experience around abolition and transformative justice to guide our overall strategy and grantmaking process. With their input, as well as feedback from existing grantees, we shifted the Accountable Futures Fund from a one-year grant program to a five-year grant program - responding to the call for more sustainable and longer-term investment in organizers visioning and practicing safety and accountability outside of police, prisons, and other carceral institutions. We also continued to fund existing grantees and brought on two additional grantees this year, committing to about $696,500 in grants over the next five years.

Grantee Highlight: Just Practice Collaborative, National | 2019-2024 Grantee

Just Practice Collaborative is a training and mentoring group focused on sustaining a community of practitioners that provide community-based accountability and support structures for all parties involved with incidents and patterns of sexual, domestic, relationship, and intimate community violence. In 2022, they consulted on about a dozen-and-a-half community accountability processes and co-led eight workshops on abolition, harm reduction, and community accountability. They also co-convened a Support Circle for Abolitionist Social Service Providers and Social Workers with Creative Interventions, The Help Desk at Interrupting Criminalization, and the National Queer & Trans Therapists of Color Network.

Disability Frontlines Fund

In 2022, we awarded $960,250 to 14 groups and four individuals. The Disability Frontlines Fund (DFF) is currently in a learning stage. In the spring of 2022, we awarded two-year, general operating learning grants to better understand and build relationships with key groups in the field, while leading with resources and financial support. With the lessons gained from these learning grants, we will be developing and refining our grantmaking strategy for this fund.

2022 was an exciting year of growth and development for the DFF. Building on our 2021 landscape interview work, our DFF team brought together an Advisory Council of disability justice advocates and activists to inform our initial grantmaking strategy. The inaugural round of two-year learning grants awarded a total of $960,250 per year to groups and individuals across the U.S., including in Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico. As we move into 2023, we will be deepening our relationships with grantees through learning conversations, virtual gatherings, and capacity building support.

Grantee Highlight: Entre Putxs, San Juan, PR | 2022-2024 Grantee

Entre Putxs is a network of support by-and-for sex workers in Puerto Rico who identify as queer, trans, black, fat, neurodiverse and/or disabled. Entre Putxs considers sex work as a site to achieve economic autonomy for individuals living within various physical, neurological, creative, and contextual capacities. Through community building and organizing, Entre Putxs supports queer sex workers within their community to continue living and working with dignity.

“We are reaffirmed in that we want to build spaces and possibilities to expand our capacities in relationship to our putería/sluttery, affinities, and enjoyment. This, as one of our norths, needs to be supported by organizations and people who believe in genuineness and humanity as a tool for transforming infinite worlds. Entre Putxs was funded for the first time this year, and we achieved goals that we would not have imagined if it had not been for those who believe in us, in our jayaeras and possibilities." - Entre Putxs organizer
