APQC GRANTS
Athens Pride & 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.
Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Athens
APQC is excited to be named one of UUFA’s Justice Partners! As a Justice Partner, we are an organization whose mission aligns substantially with UUFA’s and through which the partnership can promote inclusion, justice, and love in the wider Athens community.
