The family foundation of Arthur M. Blank, owner of the NFL Atlanta Falcons and the MLS Atlanta United, has reportedly awarded $1 million to The Trevor Project, a leading LGBTQ+ youth suicide prevention organization in New York City, to strengthen crisis intervention services across its 24/7 phone/text/chat platforms. The award is reported to be directed toward counselor training, volunteer expansion, and mental health support infrastructure. The award aligns with the Blank Foundation’s broader $25 million youth mental health commitment announced in 2025, reinforcing long-term support for belonging and resilience programs. On LinkedIn, retired NFL player Carl Nassib underscored the award in line with growing sports-linked investments in LGBTQ+ youth services.
