For decades, our festival has served as a vital platform for queer stories, creators, and voices. As a nonprofit organization, we depend on the generosity of our supporters to continue celebrating LGBTQ+ cinema. When you donate, you’re directly supporting our efforts to bring underrepresented voices to the screen, provide year-round community programming, and foster conversations on key issues through educational events.

‍

Your contribution helps us expand queer representation in film, host workshops, and engage with our audience far beyond the festival. Whether big or small, every donation plays a crucial role in ensuring our festival remains a vibrant and inclusive space. We are a registered nonprofit, and all donations are tax-deductible. Please consider making a donation today and be part of a movement that supports queer culture, art, and advocacy.
