TransMission is a small scholarship of funds available to applicants who identify within the trans & non-binary communities to offset medical, surgical, legal, and/or social transition-related expenses which are not otherwise covered by insurance. Please note: TransMission scholarships are "microgrants" meant to offset costs related to therapy, hormones, gender-affirming clothing/living expenses, etc, and will not cover the complete cost of most surgical procedures.

The TransMission project gave me the opportunity to pay off some debt that I received from Top Surgery. This project allowed me to minimize the financial strain that I have had due to my medical transition. The TransMission gives people the opportunity to take the next step in their transition.

This scholarship means being able to have my name changed officially, which I am really excited for! Trans youth need more funding like this because it's common for youth to not come out until they are older, and this can allow them to get things like a name change paid for!

I feel honored that Transmission represents people from all cultures and backgrounds, and that they chose me as one of those people to award this scholarship.

I’m unbelievably grateful to TransMission for giving me the gift of rest and ease. I was just short of my fundraising goal for my top surgery and donations had begun slowing down. TransMission provided me with the last portion of funds I needed to meet my goal and be able to recover safely and comfortably. The LOFT and organizations like it are so so vital to ensuring that queer and trans people are able to thrive as well as survive.
