Inside Out is a charitable organization that focuses on the promotion, production, and exhibition of films made by and about 2SLGBTQ+ people. For 34 years, Inside Out has challenged attitudes and changed lives through our annual festival, which runs this year from May 24 - June 1. We are dedicated to continuously fostering an accessible, affirming space where visitors can celebrate our community through storytelling. Inside Out is Canada's largest 2SLGBTQ+ film festival, with attendances of over 35,000 patrons each year. Our team of over 200 dedicated volunteers is the heartbeat of this work and truly essential in making the festival possible.

Our festival finishes with a Volunteer Celebration honouring those who have donated their time and skills to our work. Volunteers are recognized for their contributions and rewarded with prizes for festival involvement. For many volunteers, this event marks the beginning of their Pride season.

We are seeking prize donations to motivate and reward our valuable volunteer base. In addition to supporting a great cause, your prize donation gives you the opportunity to showcase your brand to our diverse and loyal population of volunteers who act as the everyday influencers of their neighbourhoods and communities. We hope you will see this as a valuable opportunity to outreach to the 2SLGBTQ+ community during Pride month.

All donors recieve logo recognition on our website and are promoted in emails to our volunteer base. We hope you will join us in motivating and rewarding our volunteer team.

For any questions, please contact the Volunteer Coordinator, Twoey Gray, at volunteers@insideout.ca.
