Queer students deserve to feel safe at school! We're in our third year of giving grants to put the power in their hands to make their schools more welcoming - students know what they need most in their own communities and their own schools.
Through 50 States, 50 Grants, 5,000 Voices, we've awarded over $1.5 million in grants across the U.S. to support student-led projects. Our third season has some of the most badass projects yet, like these:
β€οΈ βWith this grant, weβll establish an LGBTQIA+ community space in the library, open to all students, with guest speakers, arts and crafts, LGBTQIA+ books and literature, and LGBTQIA+-specific resources.β - Pocatello, Idaho
π§‘ βOur project aims to support LGBTQ+ students through teacher training, development of gender-neutral bathroom protocols, and the organization of a district-wide Queer Prom.β - Gypsum, Colorado
π βWeβll take students from the 3 middle schools and our local high school to Honolulu Pride to make local LGBTQ+ friends, feel accepted in a large group, and see the community beyond just school.β - Ewa Beach, Hawai'i
π βWeβre going to increase access to queer literature by working with a local nonprofit to expand our schoolβs collection, host storytelling events, and foster community connection." - Mobile, Alabama
π βOur plan is to create new Inclusivity Zones across the state in critical areas for local GSA clubs to meet, plan shared events, and be their own safe space.β - Charleston, West Virginia
π βWeβll host the Rainbow Youth Summit for LGBTQIA+ youth from across southern California to network, learn, and have fun in a safe, judgement free and supportive environment.β - Cathedral City, California
These students are truly the definition of making things better - you can see the rest of the amazing projects lined up across the country on our blog here!
Hello π This is Shaima and his family from Gaza. Please help us evacuate to safety, complete schooling for our children and find a source of income after the destruction of what we own. We live in difficult circumstances and a difficult life ππΌ β€οΈ Please share and spread the campaign because I urgently need help and the matter is urgent. Because the campaign is going slowly, there is no water and little food. It is very difficult for us to get a little food. Please donate and please share.

Hi, For five months I've been trying to find a friend to create a campaign for me. I was even able to create a campaign through my friend Brooke Cole so that the campaign would be reliable and the donation would be protected for everyone. My children are living under bombardment in the war π Please consider them your children and help them ππ Stand by my side to save and protect my children. They haven't gone to school for a year ππ’π’ Donate to save my children's lives π ππ΅πΈ We live in very difficult and desperate circumstances, and what is worst of all is that the fear that haunts me increases day by day. Help me provide them with basic life needs
Please donate to this campaign!
π¨Important updateπ¨ππ
I am Anas from the northern Gaza Strip. Since 11 months, we have been suffering from woes and woes of destruction, hunger, and displacement from one place to another.
For 11 months we have been suffering from hunger, thirst and deprivation of food and nourishment, until we have had to eat animal feed, donkeys and rabbits.
For 11 months we have been deprived of education and study and our dreams have already been destroyed in this war
We have been suffering from lack of income for 11 years.
Our small house and the agricultural land from which we obtained our daily sustenance, needs and daily income to survive were destroyed
But after the war destroyed the agricultural land and the small house, we lost the limited income we used to live on.
For 11 months we have been deprived of electricity and water, as we walk kilometers to get a gallon of water, which is equivalent to 16 liters for five people.

PLease Donβt Skip ππ
Hello, everyone.
My name is Mohammed Abu Swierh, and Iβm writing to you from Al-Nuseirat, Gaza, where my family and I face unimaginable hardships. My wife and I are raising our three beautiful children: Mira (6 years), Bakr (3 years), and Maria (1 year). But our once peaceful lives have been shattered by the relentless conflict that has plagued Gaza for about a year. π
Our home, which once held so many dreams, is now damaged beyond recognition. Every day, we live in fear, surrounded by destruction, with no safe place for our children to grow up. The war has stripped them of the carefree childhood they deserve. Instead, they are growing up in a world filled with fear, uncertainty, and despair. π
After many sleepless nights and countless prayers, we've come to the heartbreaking decision that we must leave Gaza. We are hoping to build a safer, better future for our children, a future free from war and filled with hope.
But we can't do it alone. Hereβs where you can make a life-changing difference for our family:
$20,000: To cover the expenses of leaving Gaza and rebuilding our lives in a safe country.
$19,000: For a yearβs worth of housing, food, and essential living costs as we adjust.
$1,000: To cover transaction and fundraising fees.
We humbly ask for your help. No contribution is too small, and every dollar brings us closer to giving our children the chance to grow up in peace. This is more than just a financial plea, itβs a call to save a family from the grips of war. π
Your generosity can be the light that leads us out of this darkness. Please consider donating and sharing our story with those who may want to help.
From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for standing with us in our time of need. β€οΈβπ©Ή

With every tear, with every pain, I write this final plea to you,Β
