ABOUT THE TREVOR PROJECT
"Founded in 1998 by the creators of the Academy Award®-winning short film TREVOR, The Trevor Project is the leading national organization providing crisis intervention and suicide prevention services to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer & questioning (LGBTQ) young people under 25."
What does it do?
The TREVOR Project is a non-profit organization that focuses on suicide prevention among young LGBTQ youth. "The Trevor Project offers a suite of crisis intervention and suicide prevention programs, including TrevorLifeline, TrevorText, and TrevorChat as well as a peer-to-peer social network support for LGBTQ young people under the age of 25, TrevorSpace. Trevor also offers an education program with resources for youth-serving adults and organizations, a legislative advocacy department fighting for pro-LGBTQ legislation and against anti-LGBTQ rhetoric/policy positions, and conducts research to discover the most effective means to help young LGBTQ people in crisis and end suicide."
Why is it important to me?
My community is full of a diverse array of people. Some people I care about are apart of the LGBTQ community and it affects me directly when their rights aren't respected or they lack certain rights that everyone else has. This has not only an impact on me and the people I know, but the people around us too. The TREVOR project is important to me because everyone should be able to live in their homes without being kicked out by their family members or shunned from a job because of their identity and this project people help others save lives and make changes with just a small action.
Why should you donate?
The TREVOR project is quick and easy to donate to and it saves lives. It is very dedicated to helping the LGBTQ community and they spend 81% of its expenses on charitable programs and the remaining 19% on overhead. It is very transparent and accountable.
