Caitlyn Jenner and the MAC AIDS Fund, the philanthropic arm of MAC Cosmetics, revealed that the fund’s Transgender Initiative will provide $1.3 million this year to 21 transgender organizations nationwide to serve the diverse needs and issues facing transgender communities. The partnership with Jenner began in April with the launch of Finally Free, a limited-edition lipstick created by Caitlyn.
According to the Lauder-owned brand, 150% of the sales from her signature shade were contributed to the MAC AIDS Fund’s Transgender Initiative, in order to support organizations and programs dedicated to improving transgender lives.
The grants support economic empowerment programs, including a pilot microenterprise project for transgender people engaged in sex work; and a program providing job readiness, placement services and skills workshops.
