Seksualiti Merdeka Donation Drive

The 4th annual Seksualiti Merdeka, Malaysia’s only festival celebrating the diversity of sexual orientations and gender identities, will take place this year from 1 to 13 Nov.

We have successfully collaborated with journalists, artists, academicians, students, lawyers, activists and members of the public to create platforms in Malaysia to speak up about these issues. Judging from the growth in participation from NGOs, volunteers, and number of audiences (500 in 2008, 1000 in 2009, 1500 in 2010), we believe we are meeting a need that has gone underserved in Malaysia.

Seksualiti Merdeka is a non-profit initiative, relying on efforts of volunteers and collaborators. The festival is therefore wholly funded via donations from NGOs, friends, participants and anonymous supporters. The success of this meaningful festival depends on the financial support from your organisation or yourself.

In return for your generosity, we offer:
1] Your company’s name & logo on all flyer, mural, buntings, web publicity, press release;
2] Your company's materials on the site during the festival;
3] A booth representing your organisation or company during the festival;
4] Your company thanked during every event at the festival.

Should you prefer, you may also opt to donate anonymously. You may choose to sponsor just one of the events instead of the whole festival.

We welcome donations of any amount from individuals or organisations, but we recommend sums of RM500 / RM1000 / RM2000 / RM3000 / RM4000 / RM5000.

We hope to raise RM36,000 this year to enable the smooth running of all the programmes. If you like a breakdown of our budget and expenses, please let us know and we will send it to you.
