In recognition of International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers, a day to gather around the world to mourn those we’ve lost and fight like hell for the living, the Sex Worker Giving Circle (SWGC) is honored to announce our 2024 grantee partners. These fifteen incredible organizations are leading the fight for sex workers’ rights and freedoms across the country despite being critically under-resourced and organizing through ongoing political attacks. The SWGC was founded in 2018 as the first sex worker-led fund housed at a U.S. foundation that uses a participatory grantmaking model. Over the last six years, the SWGC has grown significantly, from distributing $200,000 in 2018, to giving out $750,000 to new and returning grantee partners from across the U.S. and U.S. territories in 2024. This accounts for a total of over $3.8 million dollars redistributed to the sex worker organizing field since its inception!
