ShanghaiPRIDE: "Cultural" Fund
Donation protected
We Need Your Help!
Since the very beginning, every year, we have faced and also overcome countless obstacles and challenges including last-minute venue changes and forced cancellations, someone taking our funds and not returning them, a DJ who died on the way to play for us, etc. But without fail, we’ve managed every time to pull through and make mainland China’s largest and longest-running Pride a resounding success.
This year is no different. Unfortunately, today we are facing the BIGGEST challenge in our 11-year history – a big fine. This big fine is extra costs due to new regulations slapped on one of our major "cultural" events. We have to pay up in a very short time.
We are asking our Shanghai and Global community of LGBTQ individuals and allies for support in this time of need. We are planning a series of fundraisers for the rest of the year. So for those who say June is not enough, well, ShanghaiPRIDE will keep going and going. We are seeking contributions of any amount to help us pay the fine.
If anyone whose life has been positively impacted by ShanghaiPRIDE, or had a good time at events that we have organized over the last 11 years, or think that it is important that this movement on diversity, inclusion, and acceptance is worth it, or that the thousands of hours that almost 800 volunteers in the last 11 years have put in will lead to some good, please help organize our fundraisers or donate.
We now need solidarity more than ever.
We have extra merchandise, if you like them, please purchase them and contribute more. Every Yuan/dollar counts. We want to continue organizing ShanghaiPRIDE. We will not allow anything to prevent us from that.
We have been able to complete the first payment, but only 33% there. We still have a large sum remaining that is due over the next two months.
See our Drag King Fundraiser thanks to our friends at Roxie and all our volunteers!
