Who Are We
2b.care is the philanthropic arm of gc2b, a gender affirming binder company. As gc2b has grown as a brand, we have been provided with a powerful platform to make a meaningful difference in our community. 2b.care is how we honor that responsibility.
Over the past four years, we have supported over 268 LGBTQIA+ organizations and donated over 46,000+ chest binders to our gender expansive siblings. We’ve attended numerous conferences and Pride events, and we’ve collaborated with local and global organizations committed to positive change. Together, with our collective of community partners, we are an active part of a movement for Trans and Queer liberation.
Our Mission
2bcare’s mission is to create tangible resources for the Queer, Trans and Gender Expansive community. We create partnerships with grassroots organizations, hospitals, colleges, religious and cultural organizations, artists, activists, and other community members whose focus is to uplift our community to provide life affirming support. Our commitment to serving our LGTBQIA+ family is embodied through our three pillars of action:
