Queer Sick Pay Fund is launching a Pride Fundraising Drive!

This June, we are raising $20,000 to ensure the stability of our granting programs.

Sick Pay Grants for Queer performers who miss a gig due to illness or injury.

Applications are always open!
$60,000 was distributed to over 100 artists last year!

Gender Affirming Care Grants for trans people planning a gender affirming surgery or procedure.

$40,000 is being awarded to 24 trans people in 2026.
Applications open each quarter!
Adjudicated by a panel of trans community leaders based on financial need.

This work is made possible through generous donations by people like you!

Every amount is meaningful to us!
