CAR RIDES
The Black Trans Travel Fund helps cover monetary expenses for Black transgender women in need of money for ground transportation, so they can access their self-determined safest transportation options (were they feel least likely to experience verbal harassment or physical harm).
( OUR BI-WEEKLY RIDE SPONORSHIP PROGRAM IS CURRENTLY CLOSED BUT WE STILL OFFER EMERGENCY RIDE SUPPORT UPON REQUEST).
NEED TSA PRE-CHECK?We know that getting through airport security can be a hassle, and for trans people in particular, can often lead to dysphoria inducing situations, and even gender based harassment from airport staff. Our goal is to make the inconvenience of airline travel as minimal as possible. We offer to pay for TSA Pre-Check for Black trans women based in the U.S. To learn more about TSA Pre-check click HERE. If you are a Black trans woman in need of financial support to apply for TSA Pre-check, email [email protected] with the subject line: “TSA PRE-CHECK SUPPORT’ to receive a TSA Support application. |
PASSPORT SponsorshipsWe think the gurls deserve the world. If you're a Black trans woman based in the United States in need of financial support to purchase a passport, or renew your passport, email [email protected] with the subject line: “PASSPORT SUPPORT’ to request a Passport Sponsorship application.
(We are currently pausing on excepting new applications for Passport Sponsorships due to the effects of the recent executive orders on trans travelers while we await further recommendation from the ACLU. ) |

FREE books!
Relaunching October 1st! : Black Trans Travel Fund's book sponsorship program is a program developed for Black trans women to be able to receive free copies of literature each month. We do this as a part of our commitment to investing in the lives of Black trans women, with a recognition that not only must we continue to pour resources into Black trans communities, but that community engagement in political education is a necessary part of the work required in the fight for Black and trans liberation.
We sponsor selections from Noname's Bookclub and BTTF Team Highlights written by Black trans authors.
