Pride Means Different Things to Different Folks; Our Vision Remains the Same

Our vision is that every LGBTQ+ youth in Indiana has safe, welcoming, and affirming housing within a caring community. With your help, we have made a significant impact on the lives of Hoosier LGBTQ+ youth.

With your help, we have made a significant impact on the lives of Hoosier LGBTQ+ youth. We've given home, hearth, and help to those who needed it. But mainly—and more importantly—we've given them hope.

"We've given home, hearth, and help to those who needed it. But mainly—and more importantly—we've given them hope."

In the current climate of hateful legislation being signed into law here in Indiana and across the country, it is an unsettling time, to say the least. Our fervent hope is that the climate shifts…and soon. It's certainly challenging enough for the young LGBTQ+ folks that Trinity Haven serves to move into independent and safe adulthood. The efforts to silence and make invisible LGBTQ+ people, particularly youth who are transgender, are appalling. We need your help now more than ever to take a stand against this "slate of hate" by showing up for LGBTQ+ young people right here in Indiana.

Your unwavering support has been instrumental in turning our vision into a reality. And for that, I am eternally grateful. As we celebrate Pride Month, I kindly ask for your ongoing commitment—any way you can—to support LGBTQ+ youth in Indiana. Whether it's your time or your resources, it's your generosity that allows us to continue our life-changing work.

There's a future out there for our LGBTQ+ youth—one that's filled with love and compassion. We just have to put in the work!

Time to clock in.

Happy Pride, everyone!

LGBTQ+ Index: Explore LGBTQ+ Charitable Giving Insights

We are thrilled to share the launch of the inaugural LGBTQ+ Index, an important new tool for understanding charitable giving for LGBTQ+ causes and organizations.

While your inbox and social media feeds may be flooded by support for the LGBTQ+ community ahead of Pride Month, the data shows that philanthropic support for LGBTQ+ organizations makes up just 0.13% of all U.S. charitable giving. The Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy launched the LGBTQ+ Index to address gaps in understanding about the philanthropic landscape for LGBTQ+ nonprofits. We encourage you to read the research and use the LGBTQ+ Index.

To be among an inaugural cohort of four US organizations highlighted by a case study in the LGBTQ+ Index is honor we take very seriously. Please visit the Trinity Haven Case Study and learn how your support is making a difference in the lives of young LGBTQ+ Hoosiers.

The LGBTQ+ Index was created to provide a baseline for nonprofit professionals, funders, donors, policymakers, the public and scholars to understand how much charitable giving goes to U.S. nonprofits primarily serving the LGBTQ+ community. Visitors to the Index’s searchable database can browse LGBTQ+ organizations by keyword, focus area and geographic location.

Help us share this important research. Join the conversation on social media. Follow the Lilly Family School of Philanthropy on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram and by using #LGBTQIndex.

Open Heart & Home: Become a Host

Are you interested in becoming a host for our Host Homes Program?

We are actively recruiting safe, welcoming homes to support our Host Homes Program. These host homes provide a safe space for LGBTQ+ young people ages 16-24 experiencing housing instability for approximately 6 months. This hopefully gives the young person time to work on their relationship with their family—or, when that isn’t possible, to work on more permanent housing solutions with our Youth Engagement Specialist.

Can't Commit to 6 Months?

We also have desperate need for shorter-term hosting from respite hosts who can provide a safe space up to a week at a time are also needed to provide breaks for the main hosts.

Our Host Homes Program simply cannot exist without caring volunteers willing to open up their home and their hearts. Here's what we're looking for in a host:

Live in Marion County or the surrounding "donut" counties.
Be 25 years or older.
Have an extra bedroom—or an extra space that can be converted into a private bedroom.
Be willing to open your home to a young person in need.
A commitment to improving and affirming the lives of LGBTQ youth

Does this sound like you?

Reach out to our Host Homes Program Director, Levi Wagner: levi@trinityhavenindy.org.

Info sessions: 3rd Wednesday of each month at 10am and again at 6pm
Training Dates: June 17, August 19, October 14, December 9
