Rainbow Ribbon: An Innovative Fundraising Approach Connecting LGBTI+ Organisations And Corporate Partners

In this presentation, we will explore the unique Rainbow Ribbon campaign, which supports 11 LGBTI+ organisations. We’ll show how, through collaboration with businesses, pubs, cultural institutions, and cultural spaces across Slovakia, as well as influencers and the community, we’ve created an innovative model that is reshaping the way fundraising is perceived. We’ll present specific strategies for building public support, strengthening the LGBTI+ movement, and, finally, engaging corporate donors. The Rainbow Ribbon campaign is led by Saplinq, a civic association dedicated to LGBTI+ rights.
