Help Keep Equality Fest Free & Alive in Gainesville ️‍❤️

Equality Fest was created with a simple belief: everyone deserves a place where they feel welcomed, celebrated, and part of their community.

This year has been financially difficult for individuals, families, small businesses, and companies alike. Unfortunately, when budgets get tighter, events like Equality Fest are often among the first places where sponsorship and corporate support are reduced or eliminated.

For a grassroots nonprofit like ours, that has a very real impact.

Equality Fest is one of the few festivals of its kind happening in the Gainesville and Hall County area. What we have built here is more than just a festival, it is a visible reminder that everyone has a place in our community.

For many people who attend, especially those who may not always feel represented or supported where they live, Equality Fest provides something incredibly important: a day where they can simply show up, be themselves, connect with others, and know they belong.

And we believe that experience should remain FREE and accessible to everyone.

As we prepare for this year's Equality Fest, we are asking our community to help us close the gap left by reduced sponsorship support. Your donation will directly help cover the costs required to safely produce the festival, including entertainment, staging and production, security, permits, equipment, accessibility, and other essential expenses.

Every contribution matters. Whether it's $10, $25, $50, $100, or more, you are helping make sure Equality Fest continues to have a home in Gainesville.

If you've ever attended Equality Fest, supported someone who has, or simply believe that Hall County is stronger when everyone has an opportunity to gather and celebrate together, we hope you'll consider supporting us.

If donating isn't possible right now, sharing this fundraiser is just as meaningful. Every share helps us reach another person who believes in what we're building.

Equality Fest belongs to this community, and right now, we're asking our community to help us keep it going.

Thank you for believing in Equality Fest, in Gainesville, and in the importance of creating a community where everyone belongs.

With love and gratitude,
