An Incomplete List of US LGBTQ+ Helplines

I just saw the news that the Trump administration is ending funding for The Trevor Project as a 988 Lifeline partner.

First and foremost, the Trevor Project is not shutting down. They can be reached directly at 1-866-488-7386, or by texting START to 678-678. What is shutting down is the ability to call 988 and be directed to the Trevor Project’s LGBTQ+ youth lifeline.

However, I wanted to share the various LGBTQ+ helplines that I have bookmarked anyway, because god forbid one of these incredibly vital organizations DOES shut down, I want y’all to know what other support is out there.

Please feel free to add additional helplines in reblogs if I’ve missed anything!

"The Trevor Project, known for its hotline for LGBTQ+ youth, received $45 million from billionaire and author MacKenzie Scott at the end of 2025, the organization said Monday.

The gift is the largest in the organization’s history but also a major boon following years of management turmoil, layoffs and the loss of significant federal funding over the summer.

“I literally could not believe it and it took some time. I actually gasped,” said Jaymes Black, CEO of The Trevor Project, when they were notified of Scott’s gift.

Scott, whose fortune largely comes from her ex-husband Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, gave more than $7 billion to nonprofits in 2025, but this gift to The Trevor Project was not included among the donations she disclosed on her website in December. Scott previously gave The Trevor Project $6 million in 2020.

In July, the Trump administration stopped providing specific support for gay, trans and gender nonconforming young people who called the 988 National Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. The Trevor Project was one of the organizations staffing that option and lost $25 million in funding, the nonprofit said.

The Trevor Project continues to run an independent hotline for LGBTQ+ young people that Black said reaches about 250,000 young people annually, but they served another 250,000 callers through the 988 Press 3 option, which was tailored for LGBTQ+ young people."

hello, I just discovered your website, and I wanted to ask about a situation i'm experiencing. my friend is currently 17 and trans, and their parents are planning to kick them out when they turn 18. I am 15, and I don't know how to help them in this situation. they've never had a job before because their parents wouldn't let them, and they don't have a driver's licence for the same reason. I have $80 in cash to my name, and I really can't figure out how to help them even in a small way. We live in a rural area, so transportation is a huge issue. is there anything I can do?

It is very noble and wonderful of you to want to help your friend, especially as a 15-year-old with relatively little societal power or resources.

The first thing you can do is to connect your friend to professionals who are in a position to offer concrete help. We recommend The Trevor Project, The Trans Lifeline, and the LGBT National Hotline.

If you feel safe doing so, you could also ask your parents or another trusted adult if they are willing to give your friend a place to stay when they turn 18.

Good luck, honey. Don't ever stop trying to help.

The holidays can be tough. Here are some ways to take care of yourself.

If you're in crisis, that's ok! The 988 Lifeline and Trevor Project are here to help.

If you're not in crisis but still need some help, that's ok too, look for Finch in your mobile device's app store.
