Overview
- The nonprofit announced the donation Monday, saying the money arrived late in 2025 and represents the biggest single contribution in its 27-year history.
- The infusion follows SAMHSA’s July 2025 termination of the 988 LGBTQ+ youth option under the Trump administration, which The Trevor Project says cost it about $25 million.
- The organization reports a 2026 budget of roughly $47 million after layoffs and leadership upheaval, and it continues running its independent hotline that serves about 250,000 young people annually.
- The now-ended 988 “Press 3” pathway previously connected The Trevor Project with another roughly 250,000 young people, and SAMHSA recorded more than 1.5 million routed contacts from September 2022 to July 2025.
- The unrestricted grant aligns with Scott’s pattern of large gifts, and the CEO says the group will take time to craft an investment plan designed for long-term impact.
