question: what would you do if you could make things better for LGBTQ+ youth in your community or at your school?
second question: what if you could get a grant to actually help fund your project and make it a reality?
well we gotchu!
since 2022, we've awarded $1.6 million in funding to 170 youth-led projects across the U.S., including things like gender-affirming clothing closets, regional LGBTQ+ youth conferences, student wellness programs and safe spaces, and inclusive arts and education projects.
and yup, we're doing it again.
with It Gets Better: Changemakers, we want to help you create a lasting impact at your school, your library, your local LGBTQ+ center, or wherever it’s needed most in your own local community.
maybe a community service project? hosting a Queer Homecoming? painting a downtown Pride mural? let's dooo it!
you can apply now for a grant through May 3, 2026 at itgetsbetter.org/changemakers.
P.S.: Look out for upcoming info sessions where we'll answer all your FAQs about the application and funding process. Can't wait to see your ideas. 💜
