Picture this: You can make a difference and also enjoy a wonderful experience.
The National LGBTQ Task Force needs your help to spread the word about our cause! Your support can make a big difference in raising the necessary funds to drive meaningful change in South Florida and beyond. Across the US, state lawmakers have proposed 491 anti-LGBTQ+ laws this year. Please leverage the power of your social network and reach out to your friends, family, and colleagues. You can make a tremendous impact by taking your passion for queer rights one step further.
Winter Party Festival and The Task Force Gala have donated $3.3M+ to support the LGBTQ+ community in South Florida and beyond. Your attendance, fundraising efforts, and volunteerism have made this possible! Sign up to fundraise by creating a Facebook Fundraiser here.
Congratulations on taking the first step towards supporting the National LGBTQ Task Force by creating a Facebook Fundraiser.
Step 1: Set Your Goals
To get started, we suggest setting a fundraising goal of $250 and inspiring 10 new people from your circle of family and chosen family to make a gift to your campaign. We have thank you incentives to help you develop your fundraising goal. Remember, you have the power to make a difference!
Step 2: Set Your Strategy
Have you thought about how you can make progress towards your goals? Remember that even the smallest contributions from you and your friends can make a huge impact. Think about what amount would motivate your network to participate and suggest it as a means of achieving your goal.
Step 3: Fill Out Your Profile & Get Your Link
Let’s create a Facebook Fundraiser profile and make a difference. Share your personal story with your loved ones and tell them why you’re raising money for The National LGBTQ Task Force. Add a photo, set your financial goal, and watch as your contribution helps create a positive impact. Remember, a personal touch about why queer rights are important to you always goes a long way. Now is our time to show solidarity with communities in Florida and fight back against attacks on equality nationwide.
Step 4: Share, Share, Share
Let’s spread the word! Remember, there’s nothing more effective than the personal touch. If you need a little inspiration to get started, check out this year’s fundraising blurbs here. You can easily turn these into social media posts, emails, text messages, and talking points.
Step 5: Look for Additional Help
Empower others to make a difference by becoming ambassadors for Winter Party Festival. By inviting your network to set up their page, you can deepen their engagement and maximize your impact. Just follow steps 1-3 above and inspire others to fundraise for the Task Force, too!
Step 6: Have Fun!
Remember to keep the fun in fundraising! Share those #Throwback pictures that bring joy and laughter to your chosen family, and let them know how they can contribute to the cause you’re supporting. Your efforts are truly making a difference, and we are grateful for your dedication!
In addition to sharing photos of yourself in speedos or a crop top, below are three graphics for social media that you can download and post to your networks to encourage donations to your fundraising page.
Not only can you make direct asks via posts or DMs, but you can also decorate your profile with these cover photos and shareable images.

Fundraising Details:
Please note that ticket and pass incentives are not cumulative. In other words, if you raise $1,000, you will receive two drink tickets, a fanny pack, and a weekend pass. Please keep in mind that ambassadors must meet their fundraising goals and qualify for incentives by February 15th, 2024.
