The Rainbow Lit Fest - Queer & Inclusive brings together voices from across the nation to discuss queerness, gender and sexuality by facilitating conversations, providing a safe space for expression, belonging and being. The Festival also gives space to queer-entrepreneurship by providing free stalls for them to sell their products.

There are close to 70 speakers, entertainers and performers at the Festival this year being held in Delhi, on December 7 & 8. The money spent goes in production, travel, hospitality, venue, artist fees and volunteers.

Although we have raised some sponsorships, we are falling terribly short on the cost to host this event. While ticketing will add some money, we do offer significant discounts of up to 50 per cent to students and representatives of queer-focused NGOs.

The Festival is the largest queer and inclusive festival in South Asia. And at this juncture of the movement, after the verdict on marriage equality, conversations on queer existence, co-existence, love, choice discrimination and human rights through literature, music, dance and poetry, is all the more needed.

There is very little that we can do in return but we will acknowledge all our donors on social media. Those who donate between Rs 10000 and Rs 25000 will have free entry to the Festival and will receive a give-away at the venue.

Amounts between Rs 25000 and Rs 75000 will receive the above, a shout out during the Festival and access to the Exclusive Lounge with all its benefits.

Any donation beyond this will be acknowledged and thanked as stated above but will also receive vouchers for consumption at the Gulmohar Club Bar and Food Counter during the event.

WE LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR SUPPORT! EVERY PENNY COUNTS!
