GRANTS 2024: € 48.400

We, the employees of Association the Trut, all work as volunteers and the fixed costs of the Trut are relatively low.

We give the net profit to Foundation The Trut Fund, which is then spent entirely on subsidies for LHBTQI+ projects worldwide.

Every two months, the foundation's subsidy committee meets to discuss the applications received.

The overview shows which projects we have awarded subsidies for in 2024. On the fund page you can read how to apply for a subsidy.
