This Emergency Community Relief Fund created by the Transgender Education Network of Texas will collect and disburse ALL funds raised to trans, non binary, and gender diverse individuals residing in Texas who are facing increased financial hardship due to COVID-19. TENT is not a direct service organization but we recognize the circumstances for the community we serve and are doing our best to meet the needs of the community as best as we can. 

Many trans Texans are facing lost wages, cut hours, layoffs, and more that threaten to make it impossible to provide for themselves the basic necessities. Due to the amount of discrimination Trans Texans face many community members were already navigating a very difficult landscape regarding employment and secure housing before COVID-19 and now are having even more  difficulty finding gig work or work in general should they lose their jobs.

Please donate to this relief fund to help support trans individuals facing these circumstances and more. 

Applications for support will be open on May 8, 2020. Funds will be distributed as available to TGNC individuals who have filled out our form for assistance. If folks are undocumented and need assistance please email info@transtexas.org on or after May 8, 2020 and we will work with you to ensure you receive support.
