Support Affirming Care and Essential Resources

Many LGBTQIA individuals experience higher rates of housing instability, financial insecurity, and barriers to healthcare. These challenges often intersect, creating obstacles that prevent people from receiving consistent, affirming medical care. 

In Kansas and across the United States, LGBTQIA communities continue to face disproportionate rates of poverty and homelessness. Transgender individuals and LGBTQIA people of color are especially impacted, often encountering systemic barriers to employment, housing, and healthcare access. 

The ACE Foundation exists to help address these gaps by providing support that extends beyond clinical care and into everyday needs. 

Donations to the ACE Foundation directly support programs and resources that help individuals feel safe, supported, and cared for. Contributions may assist with: 

• Access to affirming healthcare services and medications 

• Financial support for patients navigating cost barriers 

• Food, clothing, and personal hygiene items through the community pantry and closet 

• Resource navigation and referrals for ongoing support 

Every contribution helps create stability and continuity of care for individuals who might otherwise go without essential services. 

When basic needs are met, individuals are better able to engage in their healthcare, maintain follow-up appointments, and focus on overall wellness. By supporting the ACE Foundation, donors help foster a community where LGBTQIA individuals can access care without fear, judgment, or unnecessary barriers. 

This work is grounded in dignity, equity, and respect, with a focus on long-term impact rather than temporary solutions. 

Support for the ACE Foundation can take several forms, including financial donations and contributions to the community closet and pantry. All forms of giving help strengthen access to affirming care and essential resources. 

Your generosity directly supports individuals seeking safety, stability, and compassionate care.
