The Trans Wardrobe Project is a startup nonprofit that curates free, affirming wardrobes for trans people using community-based clothing donations.

Hey Ya’ll! Come join us at on Saturday the 25th for a Halloween dance party & drag show!

The lovely folks hosting this event offered to collect clothing donations for us at the event and we couldn’t resist 💕

We still have a general hold on donation collections as we sort through the thousands and thousands of items y’all have generously donated to us, but we are happy to partake in this little donation pop up and reconnect with ya’ll!

We are still hard at work and we’re aiming to start serving our first wardrobe recipients in the coming months. We are endlessly grateful for your patience & support!

Check out the second slide to learn about the type of donations we are currently seeking.

Hope to see you Saturday ✨👻✨

Hey Portland fam, do you have a free hour or two this Sunday to help us move into our new home base at the Mari Equi Center? If you have a vehicle or an interest in sorting through donations please send us a message. Thank you all ❤️‍🔥

We are so grateful to PDXpelliarmus - Harry Potter Activists for raising funds for us! This was such a lovely surprise, as we didn’t even know they were doing this good work for us. (And they’ve raised funds for us in the past!) ♥️

It means so much to know that our mission resonates with our community and that we are supported in our work to create Trans Joy through clothing as free gender-affirming care. 🏳️‍⚧️✨

Our newly formed board has been working hard behind the scenes to prepare for the next big step—bringing in volunteers to help us clean and prep our massive wardrobe! This is no small task, but we’re so excited to finally move forward, and these funds will help us do just that!

If you’d like to support this work, monetary donations help us cover supplies and resources to ensure every item is sanitized, well-prepared, and ready for its new home—because our recipients deserve the nothing but the best. Head to the link in bio to make your donation today.

Thank you to PDX Pelliarmus and others who have come together to support our work, like and more 🏳️‍⚧️✨🙏

Thank you PDXpelliarmus - Harry Potter Activists for supporting our mission of creating Trans Joy through clothing is free, gender affirming ❣️

Thank you to everyone who came out to Geek the Halls! We were able to raise $120, which has been donated to Trans Wardrobe Project!

A few weeks ago you helped us raise 2k so that we could keep going—and that’s exactly what we’re going to do! But we still need your help, and here’s how you can get involved:

1. Make a one time Monetary Donation or become a reoccurring donor! 
Monetary donations are the most impactful way to support us right now. Every dollar helps us get closer to providing wardrobes and trans joy to those on our waitlist.
✨ Donate today—link in bio!

2. Join Our Board of Directors
To grow and develop, we need a diverse, passionate board of individuals—especially those who are part of the communities we serve.
✨ If you have the time and desire to make a difference, apply now at the link in bio.

3. Help Us With Inventory Storage
Our biggest cost right now is storage space, and it just increased by $100! We urgently need one or more locations to store clothing, shoes, and accessories.
✨ Do you have ideas or a space to offer at a discount or for free? Let us know!

4. Collaborate With Us
Are you a business owner or creator? Let’s team up! We’d love to work together to create trans joy while supporting your work, too.

✨ Reach out—we can’t wait to hear from you!

Thank You for Supporting Trans Joy!
No matter how you choose to support us, your generosity helps us move closer to our mission of creating joy and care for trans folks everywhere.

We need your help to keep The Trans Wardrobe Project alive.

This isn’t the update we wanted to share, but we believe in being transparent with you. We’re at a crossroads. Our dream of creating trans joy through free curated wardrobes is still alive, but without more support, we’re closer to the end than the beginning.

This project started with an idea in Florida, where I found myself with a huge influx of clothing donations but nowhere to ensure they reached trans folks in need. When I couldn’t find an organization doing this work, I decided to create it myself.

When we brought The Trans Wardrobe Project to Portland, the response was overwhelming. Clothing donations poured in faster than we could manage, and we paused pickups to focus on funding. But securing that funding has been harder than we anticipated.

Over the past year, we’ve received donations from 35 incredible people—thank you to those who gave. But it simply hasn’t been enough to move forward. Grants, too, have been out of reach as our work isn’t deemed a ‘necessity’ by many funders.

Now, we’re turning to you, our community, for help. If every person reading this gave just $1, $2, or $3, it could make the difference. Your donation doesn’t have to be big to make a big impact—it would allow us to keep working on securing larger grants to bring us forward.

We know so many of you believe in our mission. You’ve given us your clothes and your support because you believe in creating trans joy and free gender-affirming care. Together, we can still make this dream a reality.

Your support means the world to us. Thank you for believing in us, for donating, and for sharing our vision. We will keep fighting for trans joy as long as we can.

With love, solidarity, and gratitude,
The Trans Wardrobe Project
