It Gets Better: Changemakers is more than a grant—it's an investment in LGBTQ+ youth-led impact. With up to $10,000 in funding per project plus hands-on mentorship, we ensure young leaders have the tools they need to create real change.
Since 2022, we've awarded $1.3 million in 142 grants across the U.S. and Canada—funding queer proms, Pride celebrations, gender-inclusive closets, and more. These are projects that don’t just make a difference—they transform communities.
With LGBTQ+ youth facing unprecedented challenges, your donation* fuels the next generation of changemakers. Make a general donation, or scroll down and direct your impact to one of four specific project types: Community Spaces, Events & Activities, The Arts, and Education.
*Donors who give $150+ will be recognized on ItGetsBetter.org as supporters of the 2025-2026 grant cycle.
LGBTQ+ Youth Have Big Ideas. Let’s Fund Them!
