SQSH Stars

Become a SQSH Star Monthly Donor!

Our monthly donors are a vital part of SQSH, just like stars are a vital part of our galaxy! As a SQSH Star, you can support SQSH’s deep community capacity-building work and join a powerful movement of people committed to queer liberation.

 

Why become a SQSH Star?

Monthly donations provide consistent income for SQSH, requiring less capacity for us to maintain compared to traditional fundraising events or seasonal campaigns. This means that more of our collective money & efforts can go towards directly supporting the St. Louis LGBTQIA+ community in a long-term, sustainable way!

We believe in the power of grassroots donors who often consistently give the most, while facing more barriers to accessing institutional resources.

Want to be interviewed to share why you support SQSH’s work?

Email fundraising@thesqsh.org and we’ll schedule a 30-minute interview with you. Together, let’s raise awareness about why SQSH’s work matters within the St. Louis region!
