Our Philosophy
GIFT was founded on the principle that everyone is entitled to their own gender expression and should not be denied healthcare because of this.
The majority of healthcare institutions and insurance providers have systemically marginalized the transgender community and chose not to allow equal access to care by deeming transitional treatment unnecessary and a choice rather than necessary care, causing transgender individuals to pay out of pocket for their healthcare needs. GIFT believes that transgender individuals deserve access to competent healthcare regardless of their ability to meet the financial obligations for their care.
GIFT is dedicated to providing opportunities for FTMs to enhance their quality of life by obtaining the necessary treatment to assist them on their journey of transition.
Both donors and recipients of GIFT are given the opportunity to assist in GIFT’s mission by promoting positive change and visibility in the FTM community. In doing so, we feel that every dollar received and every individual served is an investment in growing and strengthening our community as a whole.
