Donate a Binder
A Binder
Donate a binder you no longer wear and you can literally change someone's life. Rather than running our own binder give-back collection, Transguy Supply now points our community to Point of Pride — a 501(c)(3) nonprofit whose Free Chest Binder Program rehomes new and gently-used chest binders to trans folks who need them, all over the world.
Point of Pride accepts all sizes, styles, colors, and conditions of binders and sports bras. Whether you want to recycle a binder that no longer fits or give away a spare, you mail your chest binder donation directly to them using the steps below.
02How to DonateUpdated
Package your donation. Combine multiple binders into one box to save on postage. Include Point of Pride's donation form or a handwritten note listing the brand and size (if known) of each item.
Mail it to Point of Pride. Send to their preferred East Coast address; a West Coast option is available if it's cheaper for you. Full addresses are in Section 04.
That's it. Point of Pride sorts your donation and gets it to a trans person in need — often shipped internationally.
03What They Accept
- Binders of any brand, size, color, or style
- Sports bras
- Post-operative binders — if still serviceable and clean
- New or gently-used items in usable condition
- Anything with signs of blood or other bodily fluids
- Surgical supplies — gauze, bandages, scar creams, wound care
- Boxers, underwear, packers, prosthetics, or anything for direct genital contact (these are thrown out)
- Food, perishables, or any USPS-prohibited items
- Gift cards or cash intended for the binder recipient
04Where to Send Your Donation
Point of Pride strongly encourages using the East Coast address. Only use the West Coast address if shipping to Delaware is cost-prohibitive for you.

05Add a Note to Your Recipient
Want to make it personal? You can tuck a handwritten note of affirmation in with your binder for the trans person who receives it. If you're donating multiple binders, include one note per binder.
06Donation FAQ
Is my contact info shared with whoever receives my binder?
No. Point of Pride collects your contact info only to reach you if there's a rare issue with your donation — it's never forwarded to the recipient or anyone else.
Can I put multiple binders in one package?
Yes — and it's cheaper to. There's no need to mail each garment separately; a single flat-rate box is usually the most cost-effective option.
Can I include a cash or check donation for Point of Pride?
Yes. Place it in a small envelope inside the package and clearly label it "POINT OF PRIDE DONATION." (This is different from a gift for the recipient, which they ask you not to include.)
Will they confirm they received my donation?
Generally no — the volume is too high for their volunteer team to confirm each one. Request USPS tracking when you mail, or contact them ahead of time if you need a receipt for tax purposes.
Will they reimburse my postage?
No — their resources go toward the program itself. A single binder usually costs about $4 to mail. For large shipments (25+ binders), contact Point of Pride for help finding the most cost-effective method.
