About Kolvas
Kolvas is a grassroots, queer-run collective curating accessible survival resources for people navigating poverty, homelessness, chronic illness, gender transition, and state repression. We believe that access to life-saving information shouldn't depend on your zip code, income, or identity.
Why We Exist
Survival information is deliberately suppressed. Whether you're trans and can't access HRT, disabled and navigating a hostile benefits system, or an activist trying to stay safe, finding trustworthy resources is exhausting and confusing.
Our Principles
How to Get Involved
| Action | Details |
|---|---|
| Use the Resources | That's what they are here for. |
| Spread the Word | Print our flyers(due for an update), stick our stickers, and share the link with people who need it. |
| Report Issues | Found a broken link? Email us at k0lvas@proton.me. |
| Start Your Own | Take what we've built, adapt it to your region, and make it better. That's literally the point of mutual aid. |
Funding & Transparency
Kolvas is run entirely by volunteers. None of our core team members are employed by this project.
We cover operational costs, printing, and distribution through:
- Small donations from the community.
- Merchandise sales (RedBubble).
- Our own pockets.
If you have the means, buying a sticker or donating through Ko-fi helps us keep the lights on. If you don't, please just use the site. That's what it's here for.
