SAYFTEE’s monthly giving program

SEBTEMBER SPOTLIGHT
The Trevor Project

The Trevor Project was founded 25 years ago to respond to a suicide public health crisis disproportionately affecting LGBTQ+ young people. Even today, the crisis remains complex and far-reaching, with data showing that LGBTQ+ young people remain more than four times more likely to attempt suicide than their peers. Suicide currently ranks as the second leading cause of death among all young people in the U.S.

The Trevor Project’s mission is end suicide among lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning (LGBTQ+) young people.  Their vision is to create a world where all LGBTQ+ young people see a bright future for themselves.  To advance their mission and vision, The Trevor Project focuses on five different programs:  crisis services, advocacy, research, peer support, and education & public awareness.


About SAYFTEE Cares:

We are living through a pretty historic moment right now, and it’s provoking a range of feelings and reactions for each of us. Here at SAYFTEE, we are keenly attuned to how the ongoing trauma and impact of current events - including (but certainly not limited to) the pandemic, protests, indiscriminate acts of violence against Black individuals & communities, and the political environment - further burdens those among us who are the most targeted by systems of oppression.

With this in mind, we want to remember that power is strengthened through forging connections, fostering collaboration, and tending community. We feel strongly that it is our responsibility to amplify the voices of those who are marginalized, especially those of Black queer and trans folks, and provide them with the support they deserve.

SAYFTEE Cares is our commitment to highlight and support organizations that align with our values of social justice and community throughout the year.  Under the banner of SAYFTEE Cares, we are embarking on a monthly initiative where in we will make a donation to an organization or cause that aligns with SAYFTEE’s overarching mission.
