The Name Change Microgrant application cycle reopens today, February 1st, 2023. The application is open every month from the 1st (9am ET / 6am PT) through the 14th (11:59 ET / 8:59 PT).
You will not be under any time pressure to complete the application, other than submitting it before it closes on the 14th. We will send another reminder email the day before it closes. Please read our FAQs for more information about the new and improved application process.
Here’s what you can expect while navigating the name change application:Lottery system: In the past we’ve used a “first-come, first-serve” approach to our applications, today we use a lottery system to make it possible for a wider range of people to apply for a microgrant. This makes it possible for folks to complete the application at a pace and time that makes sense for them instead of favoring users with access to fast and reliable internet.Visual accessibility: The application is accessible to low-vision users, screen readers, and color-blind users.Compatible with most devices: Access to a computer is not required to fill out an application—you can apply from your phone, tablet, and most other small-screen devices.These are just the beginning steps toward our long-term vision of greater disability justice for our users and applicants. We will never stop asking how our systems can be improved to better serve ALL trans communities.
We are so excited to be back in the swing of things. Thanks for all your continued support!
