Since 2024, we’ve donated 5% of our shop’s total revenue to trans mutual aid organizations, and directly to Trans people who need it*.
As of Jan 2026 our total donation amount to TCTMA + other queer projects is
$43,606
with $37,611 of that being dispersed as aid directly to individuals via Twin Cities Trans Mutual Aid.
*How’s that work?
Each month we’ll calculate 5% of the total revenue from our shop (both curlworks.net & our in-person events) and 1% of our wholesale revenue, and give that in partnership to Twin Cities Trans Mutual Aid to directly help our local Trans community.
In addition to setting aside a portion of our own sales, we also enjoy running fundraising projects and collaborating directly with organizations.
In 2025 we collaborated with Seattle’s LGBTQ+ Center and raised over $2,000. You can still snag this cute hat in our shop!
Stick Together is a collaborative washi tape collection that we put together in 2023 to help trans kids and their families struggling with anti-trans legislation in the United States. All proceeds from these tapes were donated to the Trans Youth Emergency Project.
Our talented collaborators include: Houndsaint, Camp Mustelid, STABLERCAKE, Motel 777, Jill Kittock, Dior the Artist, Dane Smith, Abbey Martin, KT Chidgey, and Alena Mcdonald.
For Pride 2024 we worked with TIGERRS (Transgender, Intersex, Gender-Expansive Revolutionary Resources & Services), our local collective that works to support our local community. We designed, sourced, and sold, and shipped the shirts, and raised over $5100.
In 2022 we designed and produced this bluebird patch raised over $1000 for The Trevor Project.
In 2023 we raised funds for Campaign for Southern Equality.
Do you represent an organization that supports Trans folks?
We’d love to help you raise funds to support your work. We can design, produce, sell, and ship merchandise, and the profits go directly to you— at no cost to you. Reach out to us if you’d like to work together!
