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.
Surgery is a life-changing experience for many trans folks, not only positively affecting our self-confidence and body image, but also our ability to live safely and authentically when out in public, at the workplace, and at school. The Surgery Fund aims to connect as many recipients as possible with the care they urgently need to live authentic lives. To date, we have awarded over $116,100 in financial assistance.
Our 2020 application period is open now, from November 1 through November 30, 2019.
Visit www.pointofpride.org/annual-transgender-surgery-fund. On this page, you’ll find our requirements, FAQs, an instructional packet, and the link to submit an application. (Note that we only accept applications via our website between November 1–30. Emailed or snail-mailed submissions will not be considered, and we can not accept late applications.)
