Your Story Matters.
Your next chapter could start with a chest binder.
The Freedom Binder Initiative offers free chest binders to trans, nonbinary, and gender-diverse people who share their stories.
Each month, we select stories that reflect courage, identity, and lived experience—because your voice holds power.
Explore the Free Binder Program
Not everyone has safe or affordable access to chest binders. That’s why this program exists.
If you're here for support — for yourself or someone you care about — you’re exactly where you need to be.
Only selected applicants will receive an email. We’re reviewing submissions for the February 2025 batch.

Frequently Asked Questions
🌍 Priority is given to applicants facing financial or safety barriers — often minors and young adults. If a binder would make a real difference for you, you’re welcome to apply.
🔹 Under 16? You may still qualify with parental/guardian consent, depending on your country’s rules.
This guideline exists to keep everyone safe and ensure binders are used responsibly. If you’re younger, we recommend safe binding resources and speaking with a trusted adult.
💡 Tips to improve your chances:
– Be honest about why a binder matters to you.
– Don’t worry about perfect writing — just use your own voice.
– Complete the Google Form fully.

We keep shipping as affordable as possible, and every dollar goes toward getting your binder safely to you.
👉 If shipping costs are a barrier, let us know in your application — support may be available.
- Packaging is plain with no logos or gender/LGBTQ terms.

We believe everyone deserves the dignity of a fresh binder that’s truly their own.
⏳ Binders usually ship within 2–4 weeks of approval. If you aren’t selected this round, you’re welcome to reapply.
📩 If you made a mistake — or no longer need a binder — email us at hello@tomscout.com. We’ll update your details or withdraw your request so another person in need can apply.
