Hi John,

This Giving Tuesday, we’re keeping our eyes on one big, very real goal: raising $10,000 by the end of the day tomorrow to support LGBTQ+ youth. And we’re going to have some help making that happen. Because through the end of the day tomorrow, every dollar you donate up to $10K will be matched by one of our incredible brand partners.

When you give to It Gets Better, you’re not funding vague “awareness.” You’re putting fuel directly behind:

Youth-led grants that help students start gender-inclusive closets, launch GSA clubs, and create safer schools.
Leadership programs and storytelling workshops that give LGBTQ+ youth the real-life skills to better advocate for themselves and their peers.
Free digital tools and resources that help young people navigate identity, mental health, and community when they can’t always find support at home or in person.

With $10,000, we can help fund Queer Proms for LGBTQ+ youth — joyful, affirming spaces where they can actually show up as themselves. Earlier this year in Louisiana, students were treated to “Cirque du Slay,” a combination prom and celebration of ballroom and drag culture. Your gift helps bring nights like that to even more young people.

And because we like to celebrate progress, when we’re halfway to our goal, we’ll unlock our first piece of exclusive content on social media, so keep checking for updates.

Here’s how you can help right now:

Donate today to help us hit $10,000 by the end of Giving Tuesday.
Share our Bigger Picture posts on Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn or wherever you scroll.
Tag a friend or fellow parent/ally who cares about LGBTQ+ youth and invite them in.

Every donation, every share, every “hey, have you heard of It Gets Better?” moves us closer to a brighter, bigger picture for LGBTQ+ youth.
