Fundraise

If proceeds of your fundraiser go to OUT Maine to support Maine’s LGBTQ+ youth, we will give you a Pride Flag and a fundraising kit with swag for donors, brochures and mail-in donation cards. We also will promote your fundraiser on our website.*

To request your fundraising kit, email rachel@outmaine.org.

*Please note that since OUT Maine is a youth organization, we cannot promote the sale of alcoholic, tobacco or other age-restricted goods on our website or social media, but we will announce your business is fundraising for us. Email rachel@outmaine.org for details. Thank you for your understanding and support!
