In 2018, SWOP USA launched our harm reduction mini-grants that help supply sex worker outreach programs with supplies and information that reduce adverse consequences of substance use including sterile syringes. We are pleased to announce that with the help of the Comer Family Foundation, we are offering mini-grants again in 2019! This funding is for any group, agency, or effort that is sex worker led and informed, provides direct services to sex workers who use drugs, and abides by the practices and principles of sex work harm reduction (see attached). The funding must be used to support projects and activities that include providing sterile injection equipment to people in the sex trade who use drugs. The deadline for applications is March 10th, 2019. Please email justice@swopusa.org with questions of for additional information.
