Honcho Campout Queer Fam Fund 2024
Donation protected
As Honcho Campout embarks on its sixth year we are excited to announce the introduction of the Queer Fam Fund for 2024. The success of the QFF continually inspires us to explore new ways to ensure the event remains truly intersectional and representative of the queer community.The QFF stands as a multifaceted initiative encompassing both fundraising and outreach efforts. The program focuses primarily on uplifting the voices and experiences of those historically marginalized and underrepresented, specifically Black, Indigenous, people of color, and people of trans experience at Honcho Campout.
The Queer Fam Fund, generously supported by donations and fundraising efforts, serves as a lifeline, removing financial barriers that might otherwise hinder the most marginalized members of our community from participating. Since its inception in 2018, QFF has proudly supported nearly 200 recipients, and we are excited to announce a new round of beneficiaries this August. The impact of this program on Campout has been profound, and with your support, we can further enrich the experience with each passing year.
Aside from crowdfunding, QFF receives funding from a portion of each ticket sale, with $15 allocated towards it. Additionally, patrons have the option to make donations during checkout when purchasing Campout tickets, and we also organize fundraising events and sales to support the fund's initiatives.
What’s Included:
- General Admission Ticket: Each recipient will have their general admission ticket waived.
- Travel Stipend: This stipend is allocated to cover various travel expenses such as bus tickets, a portion of an airline ticket, gas money, and more. We understand that everyone's circumstances differ, and we strive to accommodate accordingly.
- Meals: Our comprehensive meal plan includes dinner on Wednesday, brunch and dinner from Thursday to Sunday, and breakfast on Monday morning. We cater to diverse dietary needs with both meat and vegetarian options available.
- Camping Gear: Recipients will receive a basic camping package comprising a spacious tent, sleeping bag, and sleeping pad. All tents and equipment are pre-set for recipients before their arrival. Alternatively, recipients are welcome to use their own camping gear if preferred.
- Facilities Fee: The fee, which is part of the General Admission Ticket, is covered for all campers.
This program is a huge team effort by dozens of people to ensure the entire experience is as easy and smooth as possible. We all see the work we do as important and well worth the effort.
Honcho’s focus this year is dialing up fundraising efforts as well as improving the QFF recipient experience leading up to, during, and after the festival.
We are looking to hit $30,000 this year. In all transparency, if that ends up being attainable, our ultimate goal is $50,000 for this year’s recipients. Help us get there in whatever way you can!
