The Free Letter Writing Project
Are a Black queer and/or trans person in need of financial support to obtain a letter for gender-affirming surgery or hormones?
The Free Letter Writing Project is here to support you. We provide mini-grants of $100 to help Black queer and trans folks access to life-saving gender-affirming surgery and hormone assessments and letters from providers in the local community at no cost. We make payment directly to your provider so you don’t have to worry about paying out-of-pocket. Applicants can only receive one mini-grant per application cycle.
In order to apply, you will need to:
Identify as a Black Trans Person,
Live in the states of Pennsylvania or New Jersey,
50% of mini-grants are allocated to applicants residing in the Philadelphia Metro Area
Have or find a therapist who is authorized to practice in either PA or NJ and agrees to participate in this program, and
Applicants are required to share the F.L.W.P. Provider Welcome Letter with their chosen therapist
Require financial assistance to pay for an appointment to receive a letter for gender-affirming surgery or hormones
