Global Grants
We’ve seen the positive impact that our organization’s mission and message can have on the lives of LGBTQ+ youth in the United States. As a global organization, we’re dedicated to making sure that happens for youth worldwide. That’s why we started Global Grants.
What Are Global Grants?
Since 2016, we’ve set aside a portion of the It Gets Better Project’s annual budget to support extraordinary LGBTQ+ storytelling projects from both within and beyond our Global Affiliate Network. This is particularly important in regions where resources for LGBTQ+ communities are scarce or competition for limited funds is high. These funds are dispersed as small, one-time investments that assist our affiliates and others in their efforts to uplift, empower, and connect LGBTQ+ youth through story and educational efforts.
NOTE: We’ve also funded two Global Grant projects in Africa – one in Kenya and one in South Africa. Unfortunately, for safety and security purposes, we are unable to publicize the details of those projects here.
