GLSEN

Mission Statement

Advocating for 2 Million+ Queer Youth Nationwide - Championing LGBTQ+ issues in education for more than 30 years, GLSEN works to ensure that all students are able to learn and grow in a school environment free from bullying and harassment. 

GLSEN is a multi-racial, intergenerational LGBTQ+ organization working nationally and locally to transform K-12 educational systems in the United States. At GLSEN, we want every student, in every school, to be valued and treated with respect, regardless of their sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression. We believe that all students deserve a safe and inclusive school environment where they can learn and grow.

Why Donate to GLSEN?

LGBTQ+ Youth need support now more than ever:
86% of LGBTQ+ students have experienced harassment or assault

33% of LGBTQ+ students missed at least 1 day of school in the prior month because they felt unsafe

2 in 5 LGBTQ+ students of color experience victimization at school because of their race/ethnicity and their LGBTQ+ identities

6 in 10 transgender students were prevented from using school facilities that align with their gender identity

Donating cryptocurrency and stock gifts directly to GLSEN is more tax-efficient than donating cash and can save you money. Donating through these methods can provide an income tax deduction and possibly avoid capital gains!
