Would you like to promote your brand for a great cause?

Join the Sex Worker Professional Development Fund (SWPDF) as a fundraising partner!

here's how

This year the SWPDF granted $5,000 towards three projects to assist in advancing the careers of individual providers while also helping the broader community!

This year we would like to expand our reach. Help us meet our goal to raise at least 10k so we can double our grants for 2024!

What can you do? 

Offer a date, online content or photo perk in exchange for a minimum donation to the Fund; it’s that easy to help us grow and support our community!

Some other ideas: Hold a date raffle with a portion of the proceeds to the Fund; Or a shop my closet sale of your castaway items, like lingerie, donating a portion of the proceeds. We’re open to suggestions!

Fundraising partners will be boosted on our website and social media with links to you! This is a great opportunity to boost your profile and expand your network while doing something positive for our industry. And partners will still be eligible to apply to the Fund!
