A SANCTUARY THIRD SPACE IN CENTRAL FLORIDA

PRIORITIZING BIPOC TRANS & QUEER SAFETY, JOY, WELLNESS, & VISIBILITY.

BECAUSE TRANS-SPECIFIC SPACES ARE NECESSARY & LIFE SAVING!

OUR NORTH STAR

We believe fruitful BIPOC trans and queer futures are not an abstract dream, they are a daily practice. Ripple Hauxs is Central Florida's FIRST EVER third space sanctuary led by local BIPOC trans artists, leaders, and changemakers coming together to form:
A deliberate, grounded, and unapologetically BIPOC trans Led and centered commitment to building the world we deserve right now.
We don’t wait for institutions to catch up. We move and build first.
We open the door, then hold it wide so our people can walk through with pride, power, and knowledge.

Our collective calling is to:

Build joy as resistance

Build sanctuary as strategy

Build BIPOC leadership, creativity, joy, wellness & visibility as non-negotiable birthrights

Ripple Hauxs is the place where survival and creativity meets community and becomes a foundation for Trans and queer community POWER.

In a moment when our communities are being targeted, restricted, and pushed out of public life, Ripple Hauxs stands as a force of protection, possibility, and cultural power. We hold the line for what BIPOC trans life deserves in Central Florida; joy, safety, connection, and a future we build on our own terms.

We are seeking collaborators, volunteers, and partners who feel the same call: to expand what is possible for BIPOC TQLGB+ people and to fuel the networks, spaces, and resources that make survival, expression, and liberation real.

Thanks to Borealis Philanthropy and Help by AMG, we were able to secure our sanctuary and gather the essentials our community needs.

But the heart of Ripple Hauxs lives in our programming. Our movement, nourishment, community power building, creative expression, safety training, and support services that actively change what being BIPOC & trans looks like in Florida, USA.

Your support ensures these programs remain free, consistent, and accessible.

Ripple Hauxs is proudly fiscally sponsored by Help by AMG.
Their support allows us to receive tax-deductible donations and build sustainable infrastructure while staying rooted in our radical mission. With Help by AMG as our fiscal sponsor, we’re not just surviving—we’re scaling our impact, funding trans futures, and moving with accountability, clarity, and pride.

This partnership ensures every dollar you give goes directly toward empowering BIPOC trans lives in Central Florida.

Ripple Hauxs is also a proud grantee of Borealis Philanthropy’s SAFE Initiative.
Their trust and investment in our vision has been a game-changer. With support from Borealis, we’ve been able to secure our sanctuary space, offer emergency transportation to gender-affirming care, buy safety gear for our sanctuary including a solar generator for the hurricane season, and expand critical wellness programming for BIPOC trans and immigrant communities in Florida.

In a time where our lives are under attack, Borealis didn’t just fund us—they believed in us. And that belief is helping us build something revolutionary.

We are also honored to be supported by a coalition of bold funders who believe in trans liberation on our terms.
Support from the Emergent Fund, Contigo Fund, The trans justice funding project, Action for Transformation Fund, and the Transgender Law Center has allowed Ripple Hauxs to grow from a vision into a sanctuary.

These partners have funded urgent safety needs, grassroots organizing, and programs built by and for BIPOC trans and immigrant communities in Florida.
