Support the Back-to-School Chest Binder Fundraiser!

We are THRILLED to announce that our matching donation sponsor The Blank Minds has generously upped the ante, and will match donations up to $2,500! Together, let's help get chest binders to trans youth around the world who are in need of them.

Summer is flying by, and before we know it, it’ll be back-to-school season. 📚

For trans youth, a chest binder helps them feel supported, affirmed, comfortable, and safer in the classroom. But it’s often hard for youth to access a binder if they don’t have the resources to purchase one. Together, we can get these life-changing garments to the folks who need them.

Our back-to-school chest binder fundraiser has started strong: thanks to your help, we’ve crushed our first fundraising goal of $1,500. We’d like to thank each of our individual donors, as well as our sponsors Stealth Bros & Co. and Anapol Weiss for their generous contributions to help us reach this goal!

With your support, we can meet our next combined goal of $5000 – enough to help nearly 100 trans folks all over the world.

And don’t forget: our stretch goal is set at $8000 – enough to help almost 300 trans folks just in time to get back into the school year!

I want to thank you all personally for giving Trans/non-binary kids/adults a chance to break out of their shell and represent their individuality. I just submitted a request for a binder, and I really can’t wait for it to get here!! I’ve never been so happy to wait for something this important!!”

With your help, youth like Rhys can focus on their education instead of stressing about their bodies.

We can’t do what we do without generous donors like you – help us reach our goal by donating today and your donation will be DOUBLED! More than 50% of folks on our waiting list report fearing for their safety and anxiety about going out in public – including school – without a binder.
