Abundance & sustainability are important practices at 2b.care, we try to ensure there are more than enough binders for all who need them, spreading joy and affirmation to over 160 partners around the world. In doing so, we strive to be equitable with our donations and expand our reach in a sustainable way. Thank you for joining us in providing this life-affirming gift to our Queer, Trans, and gender expansive community.

Program Eligibility

Our binder donation program is intended to lower the barriers of access to our product. If you or members of your community can access or afford to purchase binders, we encourage you to do so at gc2b.co to help sustain our work

Burgeoning organizations seeking to start a binder donation program are highly encouraged to apply: Grassroots-community based, student led high school or college clubs, LGBTQIA+ and cultural organizations, small non-profit organizations

Established Institutions serving our community are also encouraged: Hospitals, clinics, school districts, colleges or universities, and larger non-profit organizations

Recognizing the complex and multifarious experience, including oppression, suppression, and the impediments faced living at the intersectionality of identities, organizations led by BIPOC LGBTQIA people or that serve majority BIPOC LGBTQIA people will be given special consideration.
