A community facing unique challenges requires exceptional fundraising solutions. From the fundraising event experts at Swaim Strategies, fundraising.gay empowers LGBTQ+ nonprofits to create world-class benefit events that build stronger communities and spark meaningful change.
As a queer-owned consulting firm, we partner with 2SLGBTQIAA+ organizations to advocate for social justice and bring more voices to the table. We are strategists, thought-partners, storytellers and advocates working to lift the nonprofit sector through movement building, fundraising events, and conferences + stakeholder gatherings.
We’re in this together. Let’s make change happen.
