As we wrap up the year, we want to pause for a moment and talk about something that matters deeply to us at UNTAG. Community care.
UNTAG has never just been about products. It’s about people. About showing up for each other. About making sure trans, non-binary and gender diverse people can access comfort, dignity and affirmation in their everyday lives.
Thanks to your support, this year we were able to donate products, sponsor initiatives and offer help to organisations and individuals who work every single day to strengthen our community.
This is what we did together.
What We Did Together This Year
Every time someone leaves a tip at checkout, it becomes something real.
What might feel like a small gesture on your side turned into a very real impact elsewhere. This year, your support helped us ship gender affirming items like binders, tucking underwear, bra tops and other trans health essentials to grassroots projects, youth centres and community initiatives around the world.
More than 500 gender affirming items were donated. Binders, tops, tucking underwear, boxershorts and essential accessories all found their way to organisations that distribute them directly within their own communities.
Every single item landed somewhere meaningful. And every single one was made possible by you.

A Few Highlights From Around the World
Your tips reached people and organisations across continents, cultures and communities.
At Sex and Self Concordia in Canada, a student-run organisation at Concordia University, your support helped stock their Wellness Pantry. Their mission is simple and powerful: providing free sexual health resources and gender affirming gear to students who need it most.
In Slovenia, Zavod TransAkcija received donations for their transfeminist work. As the country’s first and only trans-specific organisation, they focus on psychosocial support, legal guidance, education and advocacy for trans and gender diverse people.
In the United States, your support reached multiple community hubs.
Brave Space Alliance in Chicago, a Black trans-led LGBTQ+ centre, used our donations to strengthen their community programs, mutual aid initiatives and affirming services on the South Side.
At the SF LGBT Center, contributions supported a long-standing hub that connects LGBTQ+ people to housing assistance, employment programs, financial coaching and community resources.
Through Free To Be Youth in New York City, donations helped provide access to legal advocacy and name and gender-marker support for at-risk and unhoused LGBTQ+ young people navigating hostile systems.
And in Tacoma, your support reached the Oasis Youth Center, one of the very few dedicated LGBTQ+ youth spaces in Pierce County, offering leadership programs, weekly activities and a safe community for young queer people to grow and connect.
And this is only part of the story.
And There Is So Much More
Beyond these highlights, your tips helped us support many more organisations and individuals worldwide. Together, these donations added up to an incredible amount of support.
Activists. Youth programs. Cultural projects. Safe spaces. Trans-led organisations.
Each package carried more than just a product. It carried care, trust and the message that someone out there has your back.
Your Impact Truly Matters
Every tip helps us donate more.
Every message encourages us to keep showing up.
If you’d like to donate used but wearable gender affirming items, you can check out our Binder Donation Locations and see how to pass your binder on to someone who needs it.
People UNTAGged: Stories That Matter
Community isn’t only built through donations. It’s also built through stories.
Today, we’re excited to shine a light on People UNTAGged. Our storytelling series where clients and ambassadors share their gender journeys in their own words.
These stories remind us that there is no single way to be trans, non-binary or gender diverse. There are many paths, many timelines, many truths. And all of them deserve space.
