Donate Your Binder

Rehome your binder to a trans person in need!

Your donations make a life-changing difference! We accept all sizes, styles, colors, and conditions of binders and sports bras.

Step 1: Package your donations

Single binders in a small package typically cost around $4 to mail. For multiple binders, it may be more cost effective to use a flat-rate shipping box. Please include this completed form or a handwritten note with the manufacturer’s name and size, if known, of all garments in your package. (This helps us sort donations and get them to folks more quickly.)

Step 2: Select a mailing location

We strongly encourage you to send your donation to our preferred mailing address on the East Coast:

📍 PO Box 7824, Newark, DE 19714

If it's cost prohibitive to ship to our East Coast address, you may please send your donation to:

📍 PO Box 10991, Eugene, OR 97440

Please be aware that if you mail your package via FedEx to the PO Box, the shipment will error out unless you select "FedEx SmartPost," which uses the USPS system in the final leg of delivery.

Optional: Include a note to your recipient

If you’d like, you may also include a special handwritten note to the trans person who will receive your binder. It’s an awesome, personalized way to show affirmation for a fellow community member in need of support. (If you’re donating multiple binders to our program, please include the same number of handwritten notes.)

FAQ

What kinds of binders can I send?
Any brand, size, color, or style, plus sports bras. Gently worn is welcome. Please make sure they're clean, wearable, and free of blood or other bodily fluids.
Can I send a post-operative binder?
Yes! The same guidelines apply. We can't take surgical supplies of any kind, including gauze, bandages, scar creams, and wound care items.
What about boxers, underwear, packers, or prosthetics?
Thank you for thinking of us! For hygiene reasons, we can't pass along anything meant for direct contact with the genital area, even if it's new or unopened, so please don't mail these. Your local LGBTQ+ center may know of programs or people nearby who could use them.
Will the person who gets my binder see my contact information?
No. We take privacy very seriously. We collect your contact information only so we can reach you in the rare event there's an issue, and we never share it with the recipient or anyone else.
Can I include stickers, pins, or other goodies?

Yes to notes of support, stickers, and small pins, as long as they're all-ages appropriate and don't add much weight to the package. Please skip food and perishable items, and anything prohibited by the USPS.

Please don't include gift cards or cash for the recipient. Many of our binders are shipped internationally, and a gift card may not be usable or meaningful in another country.

Can I send more than one binder in a package?
Yes, please! It's cheaper to send them together, and there's no need to mail each one separately. (Sending 25 or more? Contact us and we'll help you find the most cost-effective way.)
Can I include a donation to Point of Pride?
Absolutely, and thank you! Place a check or cash in a small envelope inside the package and label it "Point of Pride donation." You can also give online anytime. Thank you for supporting our mission!
Will you let me know when my donation arrives?

We wish we could send a thank-you for every package! Because our volunteer team receives so many donations, we aren't able to confirm each one. If you'd like to be sure it arrived, ask USPS for a tracking number when you mail it.

Need a receipt for tax purposes? Contact us before you mail your donation in.

Can you reimburse me for postage?

Unfortunately, no. Our budget cannot stretch to reimburse on shipping at this time.

Single binders in a small package typically cost ~$4 to mail. Larger donations may be more cost effective to use a flat-rate shipping box.
