John —

Tomorrow is Give OUT Day [[link removed]], a nationwide campaign dedicated to investing and supporting LGBTQ+ nonprofits. And right now, we’re being reminded every day of just how badly LGBTQ+ youth need our support.

Proposed anti-LGBTQ+ legislation is at an all-time high in this country with many bills directly targeting queer youth. As disheartening as it is to see so much vitriol directed at young LGBTQ+ people, we’re continually inspired by the stories of people across the country refusing to give in to hatred and ignorance.

In schools, libraries and GSAs across the country, we’re seeing just how impactful the power of a community standing together can be. Whether it’s a few friends or an entire town, there’s no community too small to create lasting change and show young LGBTQ+ people everywhere that they are never alone.

One of the most effective ways to generate community support and make a meaningful difference in the lives of LGBTQ+ youth is by starting your own fundraising campaign.

At the It Gets Better Project, we know that support for young LGBTQ+ people comes in all shapes and sizes. Whether it’s a listening ear to a young person working through their identity or a display of educational resources and LGBTQ+ media, we could not be more grateful for the network of friends, family, and allies that young LGBTQ+ people encounter on their journeys.
