The Gender Affirming Care Grant
APQC Scholarships
Athens Pride and Queer Collective’s Gender-Affirming Care Grant provides financial support to transgender and gender-expansive Georgians seeking gender-affirming surgeries and related medical care. This program exists to reduce the financial barriers that often delay or prevent individuals from accessing procedures that are essential to their health, safety, and well-being.
Since launching the program, APQC has awarded over $50,000 directly to community members in need. These grants help cover costs related to surgical procedures that insurance may not fully support — or may not cover at all.
Our Goal
To ensure that every trans and gender-expansive person in our community has the opportunity to live authentically and access life-changing care. The Gender-Affirming Care Grant is funded entirely through donations and community-driven fundraising events, making every contribution a direct investment in someone’s future.
TOGETHER WE CAN REMOVE BARRIERS AND HELP TRANSFORM LIVES!
APQC remains committed to expanding this program and continuing to support those who face financial hardship while seeking gender-affirming care.
