We've given more than $1 million to LGBTQ+ students, and we want to give more!

Dear John

Over the past two years, we've awarded more than $1 million to schools across the United States, funding projects that uplift, empower, and support the well-being of local LGBTQ+ students.

With the need to support LGBTQ+ youth more important than ever, we're doing it again. 50 States, 50 Grants, 5000 Voices [[link removed]] is back for a third year, and we want to make schools better for LGBTQ+ students.

We know not all of you are educators... or LGBTQ+ students. But chances are if you're supporting our work, you know a teacher or an LGBTQ+ student. And that means we need your help.

We can only award grant money if folks apply. We need you to send this email to anyone and everyone who might benefit from this grant money. Maybe it's to build a gender-affirming closet. Sponsor a school-wide Pride festival. Fill a library with LGBTQ+ inclusive books. The possibilities are ENDLESS.

And if you happen to know someone in one of the following places — Alaska, Florida, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, and Washington D.C. — even better. This year there will be a special emphasis on prioritizing those states where projects have yet to be funded.

Middle and high school students and teachers across the U.S., Washington DC, and U.S. territories can apply now through April 1 [[link removed]]. This year's grant opportunity is supported by American Eagle and its customers, the MAC Viva Glam Foundation, and Tumblr.

We can't wait to see those applications.
