What Trevor Project Inc does
Mission
The mission of the trevor project is to end suicide among lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning young people.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
The trevor project, inc. Is the leading suicide prevention and crisis intervention organization for lgbtq+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning) young people. Trevor offers 24/7 crisis services, connecting highly trained counselors with lgbtq+ young people whenever they need support. To drive prevention efforts, the trevor project also operates robust research, advocacy, education, and peer support programs.
$38,630,474 spent70% of program spendingThe trevor project participated in the federally funded 988 suicide & crisis lifeline. This project included two subnetworks: 988 suicide and crisis lifeline lgbtqi+ youth chat and text and 988 suicide and crisis lifeline lgbtqi + youth phones. Within the scope of this project, if an lgbtq+ young person dialed the 988 suicide & crisis lifeline and selected services for lgbtqi+ young people, they may have been routed to the trevor project's trained counselors, who were part of 988's lgbtqi+ youth specialized services network. On july 17, 2025, the federal government eliminated the lgbtqi+ specialized services network for lgbtqi+ youth, which ended this project for the trevor project.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2020 to 2021, from $31M to $50M (+62%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2017 0% · 2018 1% · 2019 2% · 2020 0% · 2021 3% · 2022 5% · 2023 24% · 2024 28% · 2025 22%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
99% of TREVOR PROJECT INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (96% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 94 funders to 475 funders, grant income rose $1.3M → $26M.
113 of 1214 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 44% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of TREVOR PROJECT INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 1214 funders by total. Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
TREVOR PROJECT INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 32% of grant income, and it takes 4 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 4 funders to its left
83% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund TREVOR PROJECT INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 19% · 2018 13% · 2019 18% · 2020 48% · 2021 32% · 2022 13% · 2023 39% — growing more concentrated.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How long its funders stay
41% of TREVOR PROJECT INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 52% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $65M arriving through sponsors registered in 30 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
