Community Aid
While our focus is on the arts, support for Black trans femme artists goes beyond the their artistic needs. In order to thrive as creatives, Black trans femmes need safe and healthy conditions to create. BTFA prodives community aid to Black trans femmes needing assistance with healthcare, housing, food and legal needs.
Our Community Aid Program
Great news! Our Community Aid program is back in action, ready to support Black trans femmes facing systemic injustice. This vital initiative tackles disparities and offers crucial resources. Thank you for your continued support!
