The Las Vegas Raiders have donated $100,000 to LGBTQ+ charity The Trevor Project, matching the contribution made by defenseman Carl Nassib when he came out as gay in an Instagram post in 2021.
Nassib's announcement made him the first openly gay active player in the NFL, and he immediately added that he would be joining forces with the Trevor Project, a suicide prevention charity for LGBTQ+ youth.
The Raiders, who had a tumultuous season off the field with the resignation of head coach Jon Gruden, stood behind Nassib from the start, and on Tuesday announced their donation to the Trevor Project.
