The nonprofit Trevor Project received a $45 million gift from billionaire MacKenzie Scott at the end of 2025. The organization is known for running a hotline for LGBTQ+ youth. The gift announced Monday comes after the Trump administration stopped providing specific support for gay, trans and gender nonconforming young people who called the 988 National Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. The Trevor Project was one of the nonprofits that staffed that option and lost $25 million in funding. Scott’s fortune largely comes from from her ex-husband Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. She gave away more than $7 billion in 2025.
