Cecilia Gentili Grant Initiative

Human Rights Campaign’s Trans Justice Initiative Launches Grant in Memory of Trans Activist Cecilia Gentili.

The Human Rights Campaign Foundation (HRCF), the educational arm of the nation’s largest lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) civil rights organization, and the Trans Justice Initiative (TJI) program, are proud to announce the launch of the Cecilia Gentili grant in partnership with the late trans activist’s organization, Trans Equity Consulting (TEC). Alianza Translatinx (ATL), the first transgender-led organization by transgender people of color in Orange County, CA, is the inaugural recipient of the grant. With the support of TJI, this annual grant will continue to provide support to the Latiné trans community through subsequent grants.
