Why.
Your contribution to IYG has more power than you know! Thanks to our resources, community foundations, and partners, we are able to secure additional funding such as grants and dollar-for-dollar matches. We are dedicated to providing life-changing and life-saving resources to all our youth, which allows us to amplify what is possible for our partner organizations and our community. Together, we can build safer spaces and foster community for Central Indiana’s LGBTQ+ youth.
Donate Today.
IYG is a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization. We graciously accept donations; in fact, we rely on contributions from generous individuals, corporations, and foundations to support the work we do here at our center.
