Today’s the day, Friend!

On this Giving Tuesday, I’m thinking about LGBTQ+ young people who feel alone, who have to hide who they are, and who don’t have even one trusted adult in their lives. I know you care about them, too. Your generosity is proof.

So be the one who marks Giving Tuesday by helping to build a safer, kinder world for LGBTQ+ young people. Make your gift to The Trevor Project today. Matching funds from committed community members will quadruple your generosity.*

We learned that 90% of LGBTQ+ youth shared that their well-being was negatively impacted by recent politics. After analyzing the full day of post-election conversations across our Crisis Services team, we saw an overall volume increase of over 700% on November 6, compared to weeks prior. Election-related content in conversations has increased by nearly 5,200% compared to averages leading up to election day.

At Trevor, we don’t want a single LGBTQ+ young person to go without a trusted parent, teacher, coach, faith leader, school counselor, or other adult who supports them just as they are. For us, that starts with our crisis counselors: dedicated staff and volunteers who are available 24/7/365.

We know the support Trevor offers can be life-saving. When LGBTQ+ young people report feeling accepted by just one adult, their odds of attempting suicide are significantly lower. In many instances, by more than 40% according to Trevor research.

As powerful as that statistic is, these words convey the importance of Trevor’s work and the critical need for your gift today. Skylar — now a Trevor donor — shares how we were there for her when she was younger.

“My family disowned me after I came out as transgender. Emotionally, I was at rock bottom. But Trevor's crisis counselors talked me down from suicide — and I'm here and proud and doing much better today.”
