Attend One of Our Local Fundraisers

Community members have put on some amazing fundraisers for us over the years, and we couldn't do the work we do without them. Fundraisers are usually a fun way to meet people and socialize with like-minded LGBTQ folks and allies, as well as a great way to help out Portland's LGBTQ youth community. Click here for full list of upcoming fundraisers.

Have a House Party for SMYRC!

Invite your friends over for a meal. Tell them that you are trying to raise money for an amazing and fabulous local organization. Feed your friends something delicious, share information about SMYRC or invite us to come and do a brief presentation. Ask people to support us financially in whatever ways they can.
