A chosen name and a $250 filing fee
Hi [First name],
[Name] has used a chosen name for years. Friends say it, family says it, but the court filing fee has kept it off their ID.
That's the gap we're working on this Giving Tuesday. Our goal is $1,000, enough to cover 4 name change filing fees in full at $250 each.
Because you've stood with us before, we wanted you to hear first. Would you give early, before the day gets crowded? Early gifts help us build momentum and show others that allies are already in.

Today: 4 name change filing fees to cover
Hi [First name],
It's Giving Tuesday, and today is the day.
Last week we wrote about [Name] and a chosen name that still isn't on their ID. Our goal is $1,000 to cover 4 filing fees at $250 each. We're at [Total raised] so far.
Here's what your gift pays for:
- $25: certified copies of one court order, so ID updates can start
- $50: notary, copies and mailing for one person's name change packet
- $250: one full court filing fee for a legal name change
100% of your gift goes to name change costs for our trans and nonbinary neighbors.
Give any amount here: [Donation link]

For many trans and nonbinary neighbors, the court filing fee is what keeps a chosen name off their ID. Our goal is $1,000, enough to cover 4 filing fees at $250 each. If your business or team would like to match a gift, reply to me and we'll set it up. Please share this with your network too. Every dollar goes to the program because our platform, Zeffy, is free for nonprofits.
