We are maintaining a list of resources and organizations that may provide emergency funding to individuals and families impacted by anti-LGBTQ+ legislation, to relocate or to access care or services outside of your current state of residence. Many of the organizations are new and are only taking applications at this time.

We can not confirm that funding is always available, and applicants may have to meet certain criteria or meet other requirements to be eligible. This is not an exhaustive list, so please consider other avenues for researching emergency funds, such as through Facebook and other social media groups, your local community centers, progressive faith communities, etc.

• The Transcend Campaign — is a regional response to legislation in the upper Midwest. Their goal is to support transportation costs for queer youth from North Dakota, South Dakota, and Iowa to receive necessary and life-saving healthcare out-of-state, cover tuition costs for remote schools that are welcoming to all gender identities in cases where students' local districts are not safe spaces for transgender and queer youth, and provide small cash grants to other organizations doing groundwork in those states.
• Elevated Access —  is an organized effort of volunteer pilots who believe that everyone deserves access to healthcare such as abortion services and gender-affirming care. Because of these beliefs, they transport passengers — at no cost — to access the healthcare they need.
• Transitional Justice —  is a grassroots organization founded by a transgender man in Missouri this year in response to the bans of gender-affirming healthcare across the country. Its purpose is to provide aid, housing, and other support for transgender political refugees who are fleeing persecution.
• Project Open Arms —  is a new and rapidly growing searchable directory of vital, vetted resources such as gender-affirming healthcare, affordable housing options, job opportunities, mutual aid, peer support, and community groups in the Pacific NW.
• The North Texas TRANSportation Network — provides travel and relocation grants to North Texas families seeking out-of-state health care for trans and gender-expansive youth.
