Canada  

For a third year in a row, we were able to sustain the operational support for It Gets Better Canada. This helped them to strengthen their strategies on TikTok, more testimonial series and work on their accessibility efforts in French.

Guatemala

It Gets Better Guatemala requested a grant to invest in video equipment to support their ongoing storytelling efforts, which include their strategies on TikTok –earning more than 8k followers–, their podcasts, and ongoing public health campaigns for queer youth.

Mexico

We continued our support for the operational costs of It Gets Better México, which allowed them to start their Twitch program.

Bolivia

Daría Comunidad is a grassroots organization that serves indigenous queer and gender non-conforming youth in many cities and towns throughout Bolivia. Through educational and artistic programs, Daría Comunidad is providing safe spaces for these youth to express themselves and to build a sense of community among peers while learning about their culture and history. This grant will allow them to engage 250 LGBTQ+ young participants in the cities of La Paz, Cochabamba, and Santa Cruz.
