Today on July 4th, and for the months if July & August we are celebrating our INTERDEPENDENCE!

Community care is ESSENTIAL. We are grateful for the collective care ecosystem we are a part of and are asking for your support to allow our incredible team to keep doing the good work that we are passionate about doing for queer artists and the community.

We’re running a “keep the lights on” campaign during the months of July & August. Our goal is to fundraise $48,000 through all our available channels & donor relationships. Meeting at this goal, and it’s success, means the SBDP team & artists will be able to continue working at our full capacity uninterrupted. This is so important right now because having to pause working means losing critical momentum which is all queued up to have SBDP producing queer works of art, applying for grants, & generating critical relationships to deliver queer works through 2028. 

Now is not the time to pause making Queer Art or employing Queer Artists.

For the month of July we’ll be sharing a series of posts/reasons to support SBDP, what makes us unique and essential. YOU – our fans, collaborators, fellow artists and community – are a HUGE part of what informs who we are and makes our work possible.

You can follow those stories and along with us and our jounrey's of creation and manifestation through the following links:

Please donate so SBDP can keep applying for grants, securing long-term and sustainable funding, and begin research for our upcoming Dyke History Tour. Making a gift right now, today, nourishes SBDP’s urgent need and plays an essential role in our 3-year strategic plan to keep producing queer, interracial, interdisciplinary art.

Our goal is to obtain $48,000 through donor matches & relationships, general audience donations, upcoming fundraising events through the months of July & August. This $48,000 keeps the lights on through the end of the year and allows us to do everything we’re trying to do for bringing queer art into the world.

 

If just 5 people donate $10,000 dollars each we’ll meet our goal.
If 50 people donate $1000 dollars each we’ll meet our goal.
If 500 people donate $100 each we’ll meet our goal.
If 1000 people donate $50 each we’ll meet our goal.
If 2500 people donate $25 each we’ll meet our goal.
If 10,000 people donate $5 each we’ll meet our goal.

Donate what you can and share with someone that you think can donate whether it’s 5$ or $10,000
If we overfund this and get to $150,000 - SBDP will be secure through the end of 2026 as well <3
