About the Trans Community Fund

The QUILTBAG's Trans Community Fund is available for low income trans, non-binary, and two-spirit people to access gender affirming items from the store at no cost - this includes binders, gaffs, bras, packers, and other items depending on availability. 

Accessing the Fund

Individuals can access the fund through a brief initial intake with staff or volunteers at the CHEW Project, the Pride Centre of Edmonton, altView, Edmonton 2 Spirit Society, or Shades of Colour. The amount of funding that each person can access is determined based on a discussion around needs, and based on availability of funding. Typically each person receives sufficient funding for at least one gender affirming item.

If you are trans, non-binary, and/or two-spirit and interested in accessing the fund based on financial need, please contact one of our community partners for intake... they will get you set up to do some shopping!
