The Trevor Project (Trevor) is the world’s largest suicide prevention and crisis intervention organization for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning (LGBTQ) young people. Trevor’s mission is to end

The Trevor Project offers accredited life-saving, life-affirming programs and services to LGBTQ youth to create safe, accepting and inclusive environments over the phone, online and through text.

* Trevor Chat - a free, confidential, secure instant messaging service for LGBTQ youth that provides live help from trained volunteer counselors

According to the Centers for Disease Control, suicide is the second leading cause of death among youth ages 10 to 24. LGBTQ youth are at a significantly higher risk. Compared to their straight peers, the rate of suicide attempts for young people questioning their sexuality is two times higher. For lesbian, gay and bisexual youth, the rate of suicide is almost five times higher.

Nearly half of young transgender people have seriously thought about taking their lives; one-quarter report having made a suicide attempt.

When it launched in 1998, Trevor Lifeline was the only national crisis intervention and suicide prevention lifeline specifically for LGBTQ youth. This year, The Trevor Project is on track to touch more than 120,000 young people through crisis intervention and suicide prevention services, and hundreds of thousands more through other programs and services.

Under the leadership of CEO Amit Paley and Chief Development Officer Braden Lay-Michaels, The Trevor Project has dramatically increased both reach and revenue. The number of young people served has gone from 50,000 to more than 120,000 since 2016; fundraising income has gone from around $10 million to more than $23 million in the same period. Despite this remarkable progress, there is much work yet to be done.

Research shows that there are 1.8 million LGBTQ young people who seriously consider suicide every year and who need the support that Trevor provides.

The Trevor Project is now poised to scale even further by leveraging technology and artificial intelligence to improve and grow programs. The organization will soon launch a new, five-year strategic plan, fueled by a vision to reach all 1.8 million LGBTQ youth at risk of suicide.

The Trevor Project currently employs 148 people in its offices in New York and Los Angeles. It has a revenue budget of $23.5 million and growing. Roughly $12.5 million of that comes from individual donors, $9 million from corporate partners and $2 million from foundations grants and contracts. The urgency and clarity of Trevor’s mission has established deep bonds between the organization and its supporters.
