There are two main goals of the Homospun Collective:
- To create fun, safe, engaging events that help to build and celebrate an inclusive local queer community
- To act as a vehicle for fundraising, and provide funding to other individuals or groups involved in building and celebrating an inclusive local queer community
Our Draft Donation Policy
We are currently developing a comprehensive donation policy: If you have any suggestions, please let us know!
If your project or organization would like to request a donation from Homospun, the following guidelines must be met:
- Requests must be made formally using the donation application.
- Only one donation per year will be made to any given project or organization.
- Projects or organizations within the Greater Victoria Area will be given priority over those outside our region: If your project or organization is active elsewhere, please explain to us its local relevance.
- For a donation for a specific event, the application must be received at least 60 days before the event date in order to be considered.
- Applications are reviewed on a first-come, first-serve basis, and so we recommend submitting a request as early as possible.
- Homospun will consider requests for donations from projects or organizations that focus on building and celebrating an inclusive local queer community.
- Homospun will not consider requests for donations from political parties or third-party fundraisers.
- Past support of a project or organization or event is not a guarantee of future support.
