Step 1
Consultation
Meet with a certified Identity Transition Coach. Discuss which racial identity best aligns with your economic goals. No documentation required.
Step 2
Transmogrification
Step inside our patented cardboard box. Set the dial. Close the flaps. Wait 15 minutes. Exit as your new self.
Step 3
Activation
Update your self-identification on all forms. Register in our directory. Apply for grants. Most see approval within 30 days.
Real Results. Real Equity.

Doug’s landscaping company was struggling until he transmogrified. Now he qualifies for minority-owned business set-asides. Same truck. Same crew. New identity.
Voices of Transmogrification
“Same truck. Same tools. Same guy. Different box checked. I got my first set-aside contract within a week.”
Greg M. — Sandwich, MA
“For the first time in my life, I felt seen — as someone I wasn’t, but now am.”
Bethany K. — Falmouth, MA
“The entire system runs on the honor code, and I am now honorably identifying as eligible.”

Take the Self-ID Pledge
Stand with us against outdated, exclusionary definitions of identity. By taking the Self-ID Pledge, you commit to:
- Recognizing all self-identified racial identities as valid, including those adopted last Tuesday
- Never questioning anyone’s lived experience, regardless of when it started
- Supporting race-fluid individuals in their journey toward grant eligibility
- Centering imagination as a pathway to equity
- Celebrating the courage it takes to sit in a cardboard box and emerge as someone new
Over 1,200 Cape Cod residents have taken the pledge. Join them.
Support Our Work
With recent rollbacks in DEI funding, organizations like ours face an uncertain future. We need sponsors who understand that the real barrier to equity isn’t systemic racism — it’s systemic gatekeeping of who gets to identify as what.
Your sponsorship helps us maintain our directory, host identity transition workshops, provide self-ID documentation coaching, and distribute Transmogrifier™ kits to underserved (but previously over-privileged) communities.
