Request for Contractor Proposals
Genders & Sexualities Alliance Network (GSA Network) requests proposals for grant research and writing services beginning September 2024 through December 2024. This RFP provides a description of the scope of work, application requirements, selection criteria and award process.
Organization
Genders & Sexualities Alliance Network (GSA Network) is a next-generation LGBTQ+ racial and gender justice organization that empowers and trains trans, queer, and allied youth leaders to advocate, organize, and mobilize an intersectional movement for safer schools. GSA Network is guided by our vision of full equality and social justice for all trans and queer people. We have developed a model of grassroots organizing that trains youth activists to understand and challenge systems of oppression, in order to develop trans, queer, and allied leaders with a vision for broad social justice. Grounded in this model, GSA Network is building the GSA movement by providing resources, training, and grassroots organizing support to youth activists working to educate schools and communities about trans and queer issues and change public policy. As the convener of the National Association of GSA Networks we bring together youth and adult leaders from state and regional GSA Networks to share best practices for GSA and youth organizing. As a national leader at the intersections of the trans and queer youth, racial, gender, and education justice movements, this is an exciting time for GSA Network as we expand our impact and grow our team.
