Everyone deserves access to the care they need
We fund based on need because care is a right, not a reward.
There is no standard coverage for gender-affirming care across provinces and no one should have to fight to prove their worth to access services. Everyone deserves to be supported and our approach continually evolves so we may reach those who have been left out or left behind. This work is grounded in the belief that each person deserves the chance to live fully, freely and authentically.
We pay for care for those who need it. If your application is successful, the Connect Fund will send funds directly to your care provider.
Our current partners include Women's College Hospital Transition-Related Surgery Program, GraceMed Plastic Surgery, Mount Sinai Hospital Fertility Clinic, Foria Clinic, Bluebird Laser and Affirming Care Pharmacy.
We will fund expenses including:
- Private hormone appointments
- Surgery costs not covered by the public system
- Post-surgical supplies
- Sperm and egg freezing
- Facial hair removal
- Mental health services
- Private surgery assessments
