  • Do you have the consent of your parent/guardian to seek the services you're applying for?
  • What type of support are you seeking funding for?*

  • The service you're requesting is not covered by the Thrive Fund. 

    We understand that many folks need access to hair removal, surgery and HRT, which is why we have a dedicated program to providing those services.

    Services that are covered under a dedicated Point of Pride program are not covered by the Thrive program. You can review the Thrive Program requirements at https://www.pointofpride.org/thrive-fund#requirements 

    Please select a different product or service to continue with the Thrive Program application process.

     

  • Service providers must be US-Based and hold active business licensure in the state in which they practice. Some US-Based online service providers may be available internationally, but if you are seeking a service that cannot be provided online, you may be required to travel to the United States for the services.

    Point of Pride does not provide support for transportation, lodging, food, or logistics associated with travel.
