The Sex Worker Giving Circle (SWGC) launched in the spring of 2018 as the first and only sex worker-led fund housed at a U.S. foundation. The SWGC was created because sex workers are best positioned to confront and transform the oppressive conditions of our own lives. However, movements led by sex workers and people with experience in the sex trade are critically under-resourced despite ongoing targeting and attacks.
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 lead many of our fundraising activities.
The SWGC Fellowship and grantees center the leadership and brilliance of sex worker communities most impacted by oppression and criminalization and who have the least access to funding, especially sex workers who are Black/Indigenous/People of Color, trans or gender non-conforming, working class, migrants, disabled or chronically ill, and/or currently or formerly incarcerated.
All of our grantmaking decisions are made by a Giving Circle Fellowship comprised entirely of sex workers, most of whom are BIPOC and LGBTQ.
We coordinate all of our fundraising through Third Wave Fund, who hosts the Sex Worker Giving Circle. Membership is comprised of sex worker Fellows, who make all of the decisions about which sex workers' rights organizations receive grants.
Beyond grantmaking, we also provide capacity building support and accompaniment for our grantees.
