Point of Pride
Point of Pride was founded by the leadership of Point 5cc, a clothing and apparel company by and for trans folks.
Since 2011, Point 5cc had donated a portion of proceeds of every order to an Annual Transgender Surgery Fund. Point 5cc also began one of the first and largest international chest binder donation programs as well as a breast form donation program.
Demand for support from the community grew quickly, far outpacing what the small company was able to provide.
That’s why Point of Pride was formed in 2016—an independent sister non-profit organization with a dedicated team to grow our fundraising efforts, help more members of our community feel affirmed and celebrated, and speak out for the need for inclusive and supportive changes in our society.
Since then, Point of Pride has awarded almost half a million dollars in direct financial assistance and donated thousands of gender-affirming garments to trans youth and adults in all 50 states and around the world.
Trace
The premise of TRACE was simple. Create an easy-to-use application for folks in transition to better track their journey. To transition is to continually strive to be your most authentic self. The founders wanted to build a place not only to celebrate you, but to assist with tracking the many dates and possible events related to your transition. While They know this process has been done for decades without a space like TRACE, what they saw in TRACE was a streamlined experience that was guaranteed to make tracking one’s transition easier and more enjoyable.
Owned and operated by transgender folks, TRACE seeks to provide those in transition, the safest place to document and celebrate their journey among a trusted community of allies.
