“Hello everyone, exciting news! T4T Caregiving is thrilled to announce the launch of our very first Surgery Caregiver Grant Cycle. This means that we will select one US-based individual to provide a fully-funded surgery caregiver for two weeks after their hospital discharge.
T4T Caregiving recognizes that the health disparities trans people face are further compounded by the intersections of racism and anti-Blackness. The 2015 US Trans Survey highlights that trans people who are Black, Indigenous, and People of Color experience poverty and houselessness at significantly higher rates than white trans people or BIPOC cis people. Because of this, we have chosen to prioritize the Black, Indigenous, and People of Color community for our first T4T Surgery Caregiver Grant.
To apply for our first grant cycle, you must meet the following eligibility criteria:
1) You are a BIPOC transgender or nonbinary person
2) You do not have anyone in your life who can be your surgery caregiver and are unable to afford to hire a caregiver
3) You have a confirmed bottom surgery date (phalloplasty, metoidioplasty, or vaginoplasty) scheduled between January-March 2023 in the United States
4) You are 18 years or older
If you meet the above criteria, please use the link below to apply for a fully-funded surgery caregiver:
Applications will be open from now until Friday, October 14th, 2022.
If you do not qualify or do not receive this grant, please check back for future grant cycles, as our eligibility criteria will likely change. We hope to be able to continue offering this grant once every 6-12 months going forward, depending on availability of funds.
For more information about our services, please see our website: t4tcaregiving.org.
We are so excited to finally be able to offer this grant to the trans and nonbinary community. Our first T4T Surgery Caregiver Grant was funded and made possible by @start_the_wave, an incredible nonprofit organization that funds grassroots projects like ours. Please support them if you can!”
