QLN General Assistance Fund - Application Form - May 2026
QLN’s Empowerment Microgrant Program offers direct, no-strings-attached financial support to queer and trans individuals facing hardship. Through our General Assistance Fund, individuals can receive up to $500 annually to help cover urgent expenses such as utility bills, healthcare costs, and everyday essentials.
By easing financial burdens, we help LGBTQIA2+ folx move toward greater security, independence, and empowerment. Our work changes lives. When queer and trans people achieve financial liberation—whether that's affording rent, getting out of debt, or escaping abusive relationships—our community can thrive.
Please note: We are currently able to offer Empowerment Microgrants only to people living in Texas.
This helps ensure we can support folks in our immediate community with the resources we have right now. We expect to grow our capacity and reach more regions soon — thank you for understanding.
