Give a Gift to LGBTQ+ Young People in Need

Where has 2022 gone? Seems like only weeks ago that we were starting our New Year’s resolutions or preparing for our return to in-person Pride Celebrations. And, yet here we are nearing the end of the year. Thanksgiving has come and gone, and now we’re in the thick of the holiday season. I know that this time of year is busy and there always seem to be more obligations than we have time for. So, I will make my request quick and simple. While you’re plotting out your holiday to-do lists, please take a moment to give a gift to those who are often forgotten this time of year: LGBTQ+ young people. With our online giving platform, you can make your gift in just minutes and go about the rest of your holiday season knowing you’ve made a difference to the youth and young adults we serve at IYG.

Besides showing that you care about the LGBTQ+ young people of Indiana, your contribution will help provide a gift that so many of us take for granted: Hot showers and clean laundry. Funds raised for through our year end campaign will go toward the renovation of IYG’s basic needs facilities including new, improved shower rooms and the expansion of our laundry facilities. In 2021, we served more than 440 clients through basic needs programming alone, which also includes more than 60 households established through our housing program, Project Prism. We are currently on track to exceed these numbers in 2022 and expect to see further growth in 2023. Therefore, we are asking for your help to meet the everchanging and growing needs of those we serve.
