Hey all. We collected $315 in the last two days of the festival this year for the purpose of having a scholarship fund for trans women who want to attend the festival next year. The idea came about from a meeting we had at the festival on Friday about ways we can welcome trans women to the festival. I just got a call from someone today wondering how they can get involved in fund raising. I opened a savings account to put the money into for now but I think we need to get more organized about this. I think we need a place to put the money – which could be that savings account or something else – and we need a system for getting it to people as well as getting the word out about it. Ideas?…
Fund raising for next year…

I am a trans woman who is very interested in this idea. In fact, I was going to do this very thing, raise money to get a group of us in who couldn't afford the cost of admission so we can all go in as one big group. I know I personally couldn't afford it. I'd love to be involved in this. My email is candice.rose.cartman@gmail.com
