In order to apply, applicants will need to:

    • 50% of mini-grants are allocated to applicants residing in the Philadelphia Metro Area

The Free Letter Writing Project provides mini-grants to help Black trans folks in PA & NJ access to life-saving gender-affirming surgery and hormone assessments and letters from providers in the local community at no cost.

This is our very first official grant cycle and we'd love your support in helping us to connect with folks who may benefit from our initiatives!
