Hey John,

We did it.

OK, almost. We're just $213 away from our $10K goal, which is a big win. And because we’re confident someone (or “someones”) reading this email will take us over the top, we’re going to unlock our thank you post for making a major dent in our end-of-year fundraising goal this Giving Tuesday. A poem from one of our Youth Voices ambassadors, Nashan.

You can preview it below and read the rest on itgetsbetter.org now. 

With the match support of our generous brand partner, you helped us raise nearly $20,000 in support of our efforts to uplift, empower, and connect LGBTQ+ youth around the globe. So what exactly does that fund?

A lot.

We can support student-led grant projects through It Gets Better: Changemakers with that money — from queer proms to inclusive libraries to gender-inclusive closets and more.

We can support leadership training for ten Youth Voices ambassadors for a year, giving them a space to connect with their peers and learn to better advocate for themselves.

We can support original storytelling series powered by queer content creators, new content for our digital mental health platform imi, and so much more. 

Thank you... from the staff, from the board, from the hundreds of thousands of LGBTQ+ young people It Gets Better reached each year. It’s because of donors like you that LGBTQ+ youth everywhere are able to see The Bigger Picture.
