Pride in Giving

Happy Giving Tuesday 2024!

On this #GivingTuesday we ask for your support in raising funds to support our most popular and vital resource, our Gender Affirming Products Program (GAPP).

GAPP

The Gender Affirming Products Program (GAPP) was created in 2021 specifically to provide the affirming products and services our Trans, Two-Spirit, Nonbinary, Genderqueer, Genderfluid, and Gender Expansive community members need to live authentically. To date we have served over 500 GAPP clients thanks to the generosity of supporters like you!

Now more than ever we are proud to offer this life-changing program that provides safety, peace of mind, increases employment access, promotes positive mental health, and allows our beautiful Trans community to flourish.

Our Clients

Our clients are as diverse as the community itself. We have served clients as young as 8 years old and as youthful as 80 years old. We have provided countless affirming clothing items, grooming and beauty products, legal name changes, passports, and anything that our clients need in order to be themselves on the inside and out. Here are a few things clients have said about GAPP:

"GAPP has made a world of difference for me, and that’s before I even mention that they walked me through the process of getting my name changed."

-GAPP Client, 2024

"Having someone walk along side you through something scary is life changing. It's so important to accept and lean in to kind assistance. A few hundred dollars can dramatically alter the trajectory of your quality of life."

-GAPP Client, 2023

"GAPP was extremely helpful to my child at a time where they were struggling with the way they looked. Receiving that assistance made it possible for them to pick out clothing and makeup that uplifted and affirmed them."

-GAPP Client’s Parent, 2024

"Transition and gender affirming services are incredibly expensive. There are several aspects of my own transition that I have had to postpone due to lack of funds. That’s why GAPP is a godsend, because when you are trying to find things that will make you feel comfortable in your body, it’s often challenging to justify those comforts to yourself or to your wallet."

-GAPP Client, 2022, 2023, 2024

"GAPP is one of the most important support systems for Spokane's 2SLGBTQIA+ in my opinion. It not only serves as a financial resource, but a support system as well. I'm not only grateful for the financial assistance in my name change, but for Anne's care and support throughout the whole process. I will never forget her."

-GAPP Client, 2023 & 2024

"I was going through a tough time when I found out about GAPP. I didn't have the means to buy new clothes, binders, or pay for a haircut, but I also couldn't continue with the way I was presenting. A friend told me about GAPP and I was so glad I reached out. It may seem superficial to some, but even a few clothing items made me feel so much more like me. GAPP helped me at one of my lowest points, and I will always be grateful for programs like these!"
