The Queer Trans Project Inc

We center on urgently delivering essential supplies and assistance to help combat dysphoria and promote dignified, safe, private, and empowered living.

The Queer Trans Project (QTP) advances gender equity and well-being by providing free, customizable Build-a-Queer kits and offering transportation support through its Flight Assistance Program. They empower communities through educational events and advocate for BIPOC trans individuals by partnering with local clinics and providing gender-inclusive medical resources. Sales from their Gender Grip tape sustain these initiatives, ensuring continued support and reducing inequalities. QTP’s holistic approach addresses both immediate needs and systemic barriers, contributing to long-term gender equity and health equity.

The Queer Trans Project is guided by four key pillars: Authentic Representation, ensuring our Black trans-led leadership truly reflects and amplifies the voices of the communities we serve; Community-Rooted values, where the strength of our organization lies in the dedication of volunteers, donors, and meaningful partnerships; Inclusivity & Accessibility, offering support to all LGBTQ+ individuals regardless of identity through programs like BIPOC Early Access and accessible resources; and Honesty & Integrity, fostering a culture of trust and respect by providing gender-affirming resources without burdensome verification, ensuring everyone receives the support they need while upholding the integrity of our community.

The Queer Trans Project (QTP) is uniquely capable of delivering our three core programs—Build-a-Queer Kits, Flight Assistance Program, and QTP Loveline—because of our deep-rooted connection to the communities we serve and our commitment to inclusivity and accessibility. As a Black trans-led organization, we bring lived experience and empathy to our work, ensuring that our initiatives are designed with a true understanding of the challenges faced by LGBTQ+ individuals.

We are equipped to meet our goals through three core programs: Build-a-Queer Kits, Flight Assistance Program, and QTP Loveline. Our Build-a-Queer Kits provide free, customizable gender-affirming items to individuals nationwide, ensuring immediate support for those exploring their gender identity. The Flight Assistance Program offers essential transportation for those seeking gender-affirming care, having already flown individuals over 125,000 miles across the U.S. The QTP Loveline delivers affirmations and support through real community voices, offering emotional connection and encouragement. Together, these programs, backed by strong partnerships and sustainable funding from our Gender Grip sales, enable us to address the diverse needs of the LGBTQ+ community effectively.

So far, The Queer Trans Project (QTP) has distributed over $350,000 worth of gender-affirming items through our Build-a-Queer kits and flown individuals over 125,000 miles across the U.S. to access essential care through our Flight Assistance Program. We’ve successfully established strong partnerships with clinics and community organizations, ensuring that BIPOC and trans individuals receive the support they need. Our Gender Grip product has also generated nearly $20,000 in revenue, which helps sustain our programs.

Next, we aim to expand our impact by increasing our program output by 25% in 2025, further developing our community education initiatives, and continuing to advocate for gender equity and inclusivity on a larger scale. Our dream goal is to establish a dedicated office space where we can operate year-round, fulfilling Build-a-Queer kit requests with the efficiency and scale of an Amazon-type operation. This would allow us to provide continuous support to the LGBTQ+ community and ensure that gender-affirming resources are always accessible to those in need.
