Our Role
Frontline supported Third Wave Fund by facilitating a process to develop a five-year strategic plan for 2021–2025. This gender justice activist fund is led by and for the people most directly impacted by and best positioned to end gender oppression, centering: Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) under 35 years of age especially BIPOC sex workers, cis and trans women, and trans, gender non-conforming, and intersex people of all genders. Our process involved surveying and conducting interviews, focus groups, and strategy sessions with current and former staff members, advisory council members, grantees, funders, and donors. We worked collaboratively with leadership, staff, and communications consultants to develop a strategic plan that included major findings from stakeholder research as well as an updated mission, vision, values, and theory of change. We also made recommendations regarding goals, strategies, and audiences.
