SPONSORSHIP FORM

Why Sponsor SOS 

SOS 2023 is an opportunity to meaningfully engage with the Black LGBTQIA+ community, along with health and social service providers, regional and national leaders, and a diverse community of fierce allies. SOS 2023 attendees are trendsetters, influencers, and change agents. Supporting this conference through a sponsorship will elevate the profile of your business or cause in key demographics

With SOS your Financial Support Makes a Real Difference

A key component of SOS 2023 is the awareness that many in the Black LGBTQIA+ community may not have the resources to attend this very important convening. Support from sponsors translates to resources for scholarships, travel, meals,
lodging, programs and networking that empowers and creates life changing connections for all attendees. This is especially meaningful for attendees who reside in communities where they often feel ostracized and isolated. In 2022, nearly half of SOS attendees were provided with scholarships, which was only possible thanks to the support of sponsors like you. SOS 2023 will be a much needed homecoming for the community and your support makes that possible.
