Hi Friend, 

“Pride Belongs Here” is The Trevor Project’s theme this June. We are celebrating Pride by showing up for LGBTQ+ young people so they get the support they need and deserve.

I oversee TrevorSpace, our online social community for LGBTQ+ young people between the ages of 13–24 years old. With over 700,000 members across the globe since inception, LGBTQ+ youth can find support groups and make friends in a moderated online safe space.

Here’s just one LGBTQ+ young person who has shared how TrevorSpace has made a difference in their life:

“I feel like with [TrevorSpace] I don't have to hide who I am, or be afraid to be myself. I'm accepted by so many people here and I feel valid.” 

TrevorSpace User, Age 13-17

I see firsthand the importance of community and the positive, life-saving effects that having a place where they are seen and valued has on LGBTQ+ young people.

I know you understand the importance of belonging, and I know you care deeply about the safety and well-being of LGBTQ+ young people. As we celebrate Pride Belongs Here this June, I’m asking you to continue your support by making your gift today.* Thanks to $350,000 in matching funds from generous donors, every $1 you donate today becomes $4.

Our research shows that LGBTQ+ young people who live in supportive environments are significantly less likely to attempt suicide. For those navigating dark moments alone, Trevor’s trained crisis counselors are always just a call, chat, or text away — 24 hours a day, 365 days a year — offering compassion and empathy.

I say this with confidence because Trevor can count on you and our incredible community of supporters. It’s up to all of us to help LGBTQ+ young people feel empowered to show up as their most authentic selves and know they belong just as they are. Your generosity fuels and strengthens this essential work, and I am profoundly grateful for our partnership.

With your $3-for-$1 matched gift, our trained counselors will be there to help 24/7/365. Every dollar matters as we work to build a brighter future for LGBTQ+ young people, so please be as generous as you can. Thank you for supporting us this month and all year long.

With pride and in partnership,

Tommy Marzella

Vice President of Social Platform Development & Safety

P.S. If you have already given this month and your gift has crossed paths with this email, thank you for supporting Trevor and LGBTQ+ young people! If you haven’t, please give today, while matching funds will quadruple your contribution.

*Until 11:59 PM PT, Sunday, June 8, 2025, a group of generous donors will match all online gifts up to $350,000, 3:1.
