Sponsoring an award or screening at the Toronto or Ottawa LGBT Film Festival is a wonderful way to show your support for queer filmmakers and encourage the creation of new works from diverse LGBTQ+ voices. Sponsoring an award in honour or in memory of someone can also be an incredibly meaningful way to celebrate their courage, creativity, passion, and life.

Many companies match the amounts that their employees contribute to charitable organizations and some even provide donations to organizations you volunteer at. In other words, if you donate $100 to Inside Out, your company will do the same – so your gift doubles! Please check with your human resources or finance department to confirm whether your employer has a matching gift or volunteer grants program.

Inside Out holds an annual Silent Auction fundraiser at the Launch of our Toronto LGBT Film Festival. If you or your business are interested in making a donation of goods or services towards this event.

Please contact us for more information at kelsey@insideout.ca.

A charitable gift in your last will and testament, known as a bequest, can be in the form of a sum of money, a specific property, a percentage of the residue of your estate, a life insurance policy, an RRSP or a contingency gift. The tax credit resulting from a bequest can provide valuable tax savings to your estate. Making a gift through your will is a meaningful way to celebrate your legacy while making a lasting commitment to Inside Out and the Toronto LGBTQ+ community.

We also recommend that you speak with your financial and legal advisors when considering these types of gifts to ensure that your financial goals are considered, your tax situation is reviewed and your planned gift is tailored to your individual circumstances.
