What if the holiday season started in July?
This summer, Point of Pride and Transanta are teaming up for Christmas in July, a fundraising campaign dedicated to supporting trans joy, affirmation, and community. Together, we're raising funds to support the life-changing work of both organizations and ensure that trans young people have access to the resources and support they need to thrive.
About Transanta
Founded in 2020, Transanta connects trans youth with donors who fulfill holiday wishlists. Through the program, trans youth are able to request items that help them feel seen, supported, and celebrated, from clothing and books to skincare products and so much more.
For many participants, Transanta is about more than gifts. It's a reminder that they are not alone, that their identities are worthy of celebration, and that there is a whole community of allies and trans siblings who care about their well-being.
A Partnership Rooted in Affirmation
For the past several years, Point of Pride and Transanta have partnered each holiday season to provide free gender-affirming garments to trans young people participating in the program. These chest binders and femme shapewear garments have a meaningful impact on a trans person's comfort, confidence, and self-expression.
As the need for support continues to grow, so does our commitment to showing up for our community.
This Christmas in July campaign helps us prepare for the months ahead—ensuring that when the holiday season arrives, we're ready to meet the needs of trans young people seeking affirmation, joy, and belonging.
"The holidays can be a difficult time for many transgender young people, especially those who may not have support at home," shares Kyle Lasky, ED at Transanta. "Together, Transanta and Point of Pride create moments of joy, affirmation, and belonging that can stay with someone long after the season ends. This Christmas in July campaign helps ensure we're ready to meet that need when December arrives."
The Impact of Your Support
"Transanta has definitely changed me and my wife’s life. We were two trans women living in an old camper because we were homeless. Gifts like toiletries and warm clothes made the winter so much easier and warmer to get through."

"I felt so overwhelmed by the amount of community I felt. Not only from the gifts, which I greatly appreciated, but the notes and comments people left for me. there is so much hope and kindness in the world. I love my community."
—Nick
"I was in foster care when I got my package. That year, I’d functionally lost my dad to a stroke, and I was in a group home where I was not welcome by any of the other youth. Through Transanta and Point of Pride, I got to feel cared for on Christmas."
