The Lesbian and Gay Community Funding Partnership at the Santa Fe Community Foundation is more than happy to support the Santa Fe Mountain Center’s partnership with the Trevor Project.
Despite huge advances in tolerance and acceptance, many LGBTQI youth continue to be at great risk for violence, bullying, and the associated stress and depression that comes with being a marginalized minority. We hope that our support sends a strong message that we all need to pay closer attention and take better care of our most vulnerable community members.
