“I see myself.”
It’s a moment that often brings tears of joy—the profound relief and euphoria of a reflection in the mirror that looks familiar and true. This is the reality for recipients of Point of Pride’s Annual Trans Surgery Fund.
In 2024, we awarded over $724k to 47 recipients.
Transforming Lives Through HRT
Gender-affirming hormone therapy (HRT) is medically necessary, often life-saving, care. Yet it remains out of reach for many due to financial barriers, insurance exclusions, and a lack of accessible providers—issues compounded by rising anti-trans legislation.
Over $244k was awarded to 117 recipients.
Pioneering Support for the Femme Community
Point of Pride’s Electrolysis Support Program is the first—and, to our knowledge, remains the only—program of its kind, providing direct financial aid for permanent hair removal services including electrolysis and laser.
Last year, we awarded over $376k to 191 recipients.
Holistic Community Support
In June 2024, Point of Pride launched the Thrive Fund, a groundbreaking program designed to meet the diverse and unique care needs of the trans community.
Over $55k was awarded to 45 recipients towards a range of needs, including legal documentation updates, prosthetics or wigs, voice therapy, at-home IPL hair removal devices, and more.
