Point of Pride’s Annual Transgender Surgery Fund is a scholarship-like program that provides direct financial assistance to trans folks who cannot afford their gender-affirming surgery.
Eligibility:
We have very few requirements in an effort to be as inclusive as possible:
You identify as transgender (FTM, MTF, non-binary, genderqueer, gender non-conforming, and all other non-cis identities).
You are 18 years of age or older at the time of your surgery, or have consent from your legal guardian(s) and healthcare provider(s).
You have financial need that prevents you from affording gender-affirming surgery.
You can demonstrate past attempts at affording care (i.e. saving money, fundraising, attempting to get insurance coverage).
You complete your surgery in the United States with a US-based surgeon.
Intake Instructions:
Applications are open on May 1. The deadline to apply is May 31 by 11:59pm EST. All applications must be submitted online. To apply, read instruction packet on website and submit a response to the Google Form.
Financial Information:
This program is intended to help trans folks who otherwise can not afford gender-affirming surgery. We ask that you consider your access to healthcare before applying for this grant. Here are some questions to consider:
Do you have health insurance coverage that is trans-inclusive?
If not, do you qualify for Medicaid? (Learn more)
Do you have access to healthcare providers who are trans competent, and are able to travel to them to receive care?
Are you employed and able to save some money towards surgery?
Are you a citizen or documented immigrant?
Do you consider yourself healthy and able-bodied (i.e., not living with a chronic or long-standing illness)?
Do you identify as white, or do you experience white/light-skinned privilege?
If you answered YES to most of these questions, you may consider making space for our trans siblings who mostly answered NO. (Even if you answer YES to most or all of these questions, you are still eligible to apply.)
