Jim Collins Foundation

Honoring the legacy of the Jim Collins Foundation and celebrating 15+ years of life-changing support for trans people.

Founded in 2008, the Jim Collins Foundation became the first U.S. nonprofit devoted exclusively to funding gender-affirming surgeries for trans people in need.

Over the next 15 years, it opened doors to affirming care, helping more than 50 people access life-changing surgery and establishing a powerful legacy of community care.

In 2025, the Jim Collins Foundation officially merged into Point of Pride, uniting two missions rooted in compassion, equity, and trans-led care.

(Here it might be nice to put JFC's mission statement, perhaps a brief founders' story/vision?)
