ApplyTravel Fund
A short form, about 5 minutes: where you live, where you’re going, when, and what it will cost. If we approve your request, a second private form asks for a photo ID and your doctor’s name, so we can book and pay for your trip.
Two board members reach out by the way you told us is safe (text, call or email) for a short conversation. It’s how we make sure every dollar reaches a kid who needs it.
Where we can, we book or pay flights and lodging directly. Gas, childcare and per diem are reimbursed with receipts. You don’t need to front the money.
Your privacy matters. Only the board members reviewing your request see your information, we ask for the minimum we need, and we never share, sell or publish it.

About
In 2023, after Idaho banned gender-affirming care for minors, five Idaho students started a fund so kids could still get the care they need. It carries the name of Eve Devitt, an Idaho human rights activist who refuses to back down in the fight for trans visibility, inclusion and care.
We are proud to stand with Idaho’s trans and non-binary youth. Loudly, and for the long haul.
Eve Devitt is an actress, poet and human rights activist. For years, she and her family have led the charge to defend trans rights in Idaho: organizing rallies, meeting with lawmakers and testifying at the legislature.
Eve answers hate and bigotry with love and resilience, and she helped build a community across the state around one message for LGBTQ+ youth: you are loved and welcome here.
