Hi John,

We’re in the final stretch: It Gets Better is less than $5,000 away from hitting our $150,000 end-of-year goal.

If you’ve been meaning to give (or give again), this is your moment to back LGBTQ+ youth with something real: support, resources, leadership, and proof they’re not alone.

Here’s what your support fueled in 2025:

• 655,000 LGBTQ+ youth (13–24) found messages of hope and connection

• 205,000 youth have used our digital mental health tool imi since 2022 (35,000 in 2025 alone)

• 172 youth-led projects funded since 2022, totaling $1.6 million—and growing.

Want your gift to feel specific?

• $50 makes imi.guide available to 50 LGBTQ+ young people

• $100 supports a Youth Voices ambassador for one month of leadership training.

• $250 makes you a named supporter of an It Gets Better: Changemakers grant.

And if you’re ready to keep this steady all year: becoming a recurring donor is one of the strongest ways to show up. You can also give via stock, crypto, or a DAF at itgetsbetter.org.

Thanks for being part of the reason LGBTQ+ youth get to head into 2026 with more support behind them.

With gratitude,

The It Gets Better Team
