COVID-19 Emergency Fund: Impact Report | Point of Pride

Written by Point of Pride | August 12, 2021 10:04:01 AM Z

From March 2020 through July 2021, Point of Pride awarded $38,135 in microgrants to 521 trans recipients impacted by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The COVID-19 Emergency Fund provided relief to folks who had lost their income and lacked the financial means to cover short-term health expenses, such as HRT or other prescriptions, therapy or mental health services, and medical supplies.

This work was made possible because of you – community members, allies, fundraisers, and donors – all coming together to provide life-saving support at a time it was needed most. On behalf of our Board of Directors and all of the recipients who benefitted, thank you.

Here’s a look at our impact:
