Meet The Gaybors Fund Recipients
When clients book a Music in Demand event, they can also select an LGBTQ+ nonprofit to receive a donation from The Gaybors Fund. These organizations are focused on creating and maintaining safe space for Queer and Trans people to thrive in the music industry and beyond.
The Gaybors Fund is supported directly from our agency commission, in partnership with Gaybors Agency, Drag in Demand and Drag Trips.
