We receive numerous donation, fundraiser and sponsorship requests each week and while we would love to fulfill every request, doing so would severely impact our ability to sustain our business with rising operational costs due to the current economic climate. 

We are a 100% gender diverse owned small business that proudly employs a team of gender diverse staff, with tight product margins to keep gender-affirming products affordable for our community.

We understand the importance of fundraising, and we want to offer alternative ways to support your efforts in supporting trans, gender diverse and queer communities while also supporting the small businesses that are part of it.

Instead of asking for direct product or monetary donations from trans, gender diverse and queer owned small businesses, we encourage you to:

• Apply for small grants: Part of these funds can be allocated to the purchase of prizes and giveaways. These funds can be applied for through various avenues, including local councils, organisations like ACON and Wear It Purple, local councils and other philanthropic bodies that support community initiatives.
• Encourage allies to purchase: Ask supporters to buy products or gift cards from trans, gender diverse and queer owned small businesses to donate to your event.
• Include the purchase of prizes in your budget: You can then run a raffle which will raise money while also supporting trans, gender diverse and queer owned small businesses.

We deeply appreciate the work being done by community groups and event organisers to support the trans, gender diverse and queer communities and we are happy to offer the following in-kind support:

• Share and promote your event on our social media.
• Write letters of support for grant applications.
• Provide a discount code to include with your giveaways for your event attendees to use.
• Collaborative projects: We are open to discussing collaborative product ventures, such as our recent t-shirt fundraiser collaboration with Trans Justice Project, where the proceeds directly support your organisation.

We believe these alternative approaches will allow us to continue serving our community while enabling you to achieve your fundraising and community support goals.
