As the first grantmaker to many grassroots lbtqi groups, astraea plays a catalytic role supporting lbtqi activism across the globe. Via grantmaking, capacity building, philanthropic advocacy and communication, astraea supports lbq, trans and intersex-led organizations to challenge oppression and advance gender, racial and economic justice.

International trans fund: a sponsored project of astraea was created in 2015 with a mission to mobilize sustainable resources for strong, trans-led movements and collective action, and to address and eliminate funding gaps impacting trans groups across the globe. International trans fund aims to increase the capacity of trans movements to self organize and advocate for trans people's rights, self-determination and wellbeing.

The pipeline project: a sponsored project of astraea is a recruitment, retention and leadership advancement initiative. The initiative's goals are to produce programs and engage in activities that together represent a long-term effort to increase the number of people of color working within the nation's lgbt rights, service and advocacy sector, and ultimately increase the level of diversity in the leadership of our movement.
