Why Do Trevor Donors Make Planned Gifts?
A gift in your will or trust costs nothing today, can be changed as life changes, and allows you to care for your loved ones first. It also carries your commitment forward to help ensure that future generations of LGBTQ+ young people never have to face a crisis alone.

Your Legacy Can Help Save LGBTQ+ Young Lives
A gift in your will helps ensure that LGBTQ+ young people can continue to find life-saving support for generations to come. For example, a legacy gift of just $100,000 could help our crisis services reach nearly 2,000 young people by funding nearly three full days of operations. By including The Trevor Project in your plans today, you help build a future where every LGBTQ+ young person can receive the care, connection, and affirmation they deserve.
