A half-filled form, and $1,000 to cover 10 more
Hi [First name],
Last spring, [Name] came to our first name change clinic with a half-filled form. They left with a filing packet and a way to cover the fee.
Since then, our monthly clinic has kept going, in an affirming room with volunteers who know the paperwork.
On Giving Tuesday next week, we're raising $1,000 so 10 trans and nonbinary neighbors can have their paperwork costs covered at $100 each. That puts a chosen name on their legal documents.
Would you join us with an early gift? Early gifts build momentum for everyone who gives after.

$1,000 to put 10 chosen names on legal documents
Hi [First name],
It's Giving Tuesday, and today is the day.
Last week we shared [Name]'s story from our first name change clinic. Our goal is $1,000 to cover paperwork for 10 trans and nonbinary neighbors, so their chosen name is on their legal documents. We're at [Total raised] so far.
Here's what a gift pays for:
- $25: certified copies of a court order and postage for one person
- $50: half of one person's filing fee
- $100: all filing, copy and mailing costs for one person's name change
100% of your gift goes to name and ID change help. We use Zeffy, a platform that's free for nonprofits.

That means a chosen name can go on legal documents, and a fee won't be what stops someone at the counter.
Next, [Name] will file the packet from our spring clinic, with the fee already covered.
Our December appeal is coming soon. If you'd like to keep going before then, you can start here: [Year-end appeal link]
