It's easy to state our support for transgender Iowans because respecting the dignity of trans Iowans IS easy! But more important than voicing support is taking action, and to that end, we're excited to share this opportunity to raise funds for the Iowa Trans Mutual Aid Fund, an organization that makes a direct, immediate impact on people's lives by providing financial assistance to trans and nonbinary Iowans seeking gender affirming care--care that the state of Iowa is making increasingly difficult for people to access.

Bid on one of several baskets of items thoughtfully donated by Downtown Ames businesses; or show your support by kicking in a few bucks that will go directly to the mutual aid fund! Either way, 100% of your donation will benefit trans Iowans. Because trans rights are human rights.
