What is the SAFT?

SAFT stands for Solidarity and Action Fund for Transpeople. It is a mutual aid fund designed with both short term and long term goals. In the short term, aid from SAFT can be requested by community members in need for costs such as housing, food, medical costs, communication costs, transport, and more. In the long run, the goal of the fund is to become the centerpiece of a near-comprehensive healthcare system built by trans people, for trans people. You can also think of the SAFT as the “kassa” of a union. TransHub aims to be a social union for trans people and the SAFT is its mutual aid fund.

Why should I become a member of the SAFT?

Because it is a great way to support our siblings, or show support as an ally. You can contribute to a very concrete and ambitious project that makes a material difference for people who need it. It is a low effort of involvment that can make a big difference.

Most of all, you should become a member because we need each other to build the care system that we need and dream of.

Who can be a member?

Anyone. We think that cis-money is money too, and we gladly take it. When you sign up to become a member, you specify whether you want to become a beneficiary member - which means that you identify as trans/NB and might one day want to ask for help from the SAFT - or a supportive member as an ally.

Only beneficiary members can attend the SAFT’s annual assembly where they can vote over decisions regarding the fund’s governance.

How much is the membership fee and how do I pay?

You pay what you can. We give suggestion on our donation platform, from 50kr a month to 400kr. You can give more, and you can give less: from each according to their abilities. You can pay with card through our donation platform on Action Network, by bank transfer, bankgiro, Swish, or cash. Anyone can also do a punctual donation, but this does not make you a member.

We would prefer that you use the donation platform or - if you use bank transfer - that you set up an automatic recurring transfer. Write to us if you want to pay by cash.

How can I request help from the SAFT?

Write an email to us with details regarding your needs: reason, amounts, etc. Describe yourself and your situation a bit. In most cases, we need to get an invoice for what you need to pay. For legal reasons, we cannot simply “give” you money to cover already paid expenses; we can only pay a bill for you.

We will get back to you as soon as possible, and might ask to set up a meeting (digital if need be), but keep in mind that we are a small team of volunteers and it might take us some time to process your request.
