What The Queer Trans Project Inc does
Mission
The Queer Trans Project a Black-led and Trans-led initiative is dedicated to providing gender-affirming resources to empower queer and trans individuals worldwide equipping them with the confidence and power to drive social change in their communities. Our mission centers on urgently delivering essential supplies and assistance to help combat dysphoria and promote dignified safe private and empowered living. Across programs our data tells a consistent story: trans and gender-diverse people know who they are but face systemic financial geographic and social barriers to living as themselves.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
The Build-a-Queer Kits program offers free gender-affirming items like chest binders packers tape and other essentials to trans and gender-diverse individuals unable to access these items safely or affordably. Our 2025 impact: - 5,490 Transgender & Gender Diverse People Served in the U.S. - $506,352.64 Valuation of Items Distributed - 12,109 Total Items Distributed Pre-survey data from the Build-a-Queer Kits program shows that many respondents already felt comfortable in their gender identity prior to engaging with QTP. Nearly half reported feeling mostly or very comfortable and over three-quarters reported at least some comfort. This reflects a community with strong self-knowledge and clarity about who they are. At the same time more than three-quarters of respondents reported that accessing gender-affirming care and items was somewhat or very difficult with fewer than one in ten reporting that access was easy. Taken together these findings highlight a critical distinction: confidence in identity does not equate to access to resources. Many respondents know who they are but lack the financial means safety or availability needed to express that identity in daily life. This tension…

In 2025 The Queer Trans Project facilitated 72 flights for 97 passengers covering a total of 118,447 miles within the United States. Of the passengers 66% identified as BIPOC Black Indigenous or People of Color with 68% flying specifically for gender-affirming surgery. Pre-survey responses from Flights Program participants further support this trend. While most found accessing care or relocating challenging without transportation aid a smaller group responded neutrally regarding ease of access. Neutral responses likely indicate conditional or precarious access rather than true ease possibly achieved under significant personal strain or risk. Financial data revealed that 40% would have been unable to attend without assistance while the rest considered travel costs stressful to varying degrees. Post-survey results emphasize…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2024, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2024, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.

How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.

Who funds it, year by year
Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.
4 of 8 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 25% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of The Queer Trans Project Inc’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
The Queer Trans Project Inc leans on a few funders — its largest provides 40% of grant income and the top three 74%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
97% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund The Queer Trans Project Inc.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
The Queer Trans Project Inc draws 100% of its grant income from funders outside Florida, across 4 states in all.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $87k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been.
