- $228,697 spent. 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 helps explain why QTPs work is impactful even among people who already feel confident in their gender. The kits do not create identity; they remove barriers. Early post-survey responses suggest that once access is provided recipients experience increased comfort expressing their gender greater confidence living authentically and frequent integration of their selected gender-affirming items into daily life.
- $9,091 spent. In partnership with Elevated Access The Queer Trans Projects flight program removes geographical and financial barriers to care by offering private and commercial flights to transgender and gender-diverse individuals traveling for gender-affirming surgery medical appointments relocation to safer areas or accessing affirming spaces when local options are lacking. 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 significance of this distinction. With transportation aid nearly all participants found accessing care very easy with many acknowledging they could not have attended without The Queer Trans Projects support. These results highlight that transportation is not merely a supplementary service but a critical factor in enabling access to care.
- $3,063 spent. The Northeast Florida Trans Resource Fair is an annual event.

The event successfully drew in 400 attendees providing a vital platform for networking support and access to essential resources for the transgender community in the region.
