Build the world we all deserved to grow up in!

You know what that silence feels like—the uncertainty of wondering where you belong. This Pride, we aren't just celebrating, we are making a promise. We are on a mission to raise $300,000 to ensure that for every LGBTQ+ youth in Utah, Love Shows Up.

In Utah, 50% of LGBTQ+ young people who desperately wanted mental health care couldn't access it. Even more heartbreaking: 1 in 10 attempted suicide last year.*

Pride is a commitment, not just a moment. Your gift today provides the life-saving therapy, safe spaces, and community belonging these youth need 365 days a year.

✨ DOUBLE YOUR IMPACT: Thanks to our Encircle Champions, every dollar you give right now is matched, dollar-for-dollar, up to $150,000. Your $50 becomes $100. Your $500 becomes $1,000. Don’t let this match go unclaimed.

🏠 YOUR IMPACT

Encircle isn't just a community center, they are sanctuaries.

Life-Saving Therapy: Low-to-no-cost sessions with specialized affirming professionals.

Daily Belonging: Drop-in hours and daily programs where youth and young adults can finally be themselves.

Stronger Families: Support groups that help parents learn how to love and affirm their children.
