Trans+ Support Fund
The Trans+ Support Fund provides grants directly to individuals to support the cost of transition-related or gender-affirming procedures that are not covered by the NWT Health Care Plan.
__________
Please note that applications for the 2025-26 Trans+ Support Fund are closed. We will begin accepting applications for the 2026-27 Trans+ Support Fund on June 1, 2026 when the next round of funding becomes available.
__________
NWT residents of all ages can apply for up to $1,000 to help cover the cost of things like:
travel for assessments and procedures related to gender-affirming care
out-of-pocket gender-affirming healthcare (eg: ‘elective’ procedures, HRT)
electrolysis or laser hair removal
vocal lessons or speech therapy
name or gender marker change fees
Applications are first come, first served, and will remain open until the Fund is spent or May 31, 2027 - whichever comes first. First time applicants will be prioritized over repeat applicants from previous years.
The only supporting documentation required to apply is proof of the expense, which can look like an email appointment confirmation, a receipt, or an invoice.
If you have any questions about the Trans+ Support Fund please reach out to Northern Mosaic Network’s Peer Support Coordinator by email at coordinator@northernmosaic.net.
This initiative is made possible with the support of the Sonor Foundation through their Transcend Impact Challenge.
