Our Crowdfunding Groups
To our LGBTQ+ community and allies,
Since we began our digital crowdfunding effors in 2021, it continues to amaze me at the outpouring of support we receive each April that directly impacts our LGBTQ+ Bulldogs at Fresno State. In just 30 days, we were able to raise $6,625 with the combined support of 92 alumnx, donors, friends, and family, pushing well past our original goal of $5,000!
Not only did we shatter our fundraising record for the Rainbow Graduation Celebration, we also received the highest number of unique donors since the start of crowdfunding! With this support, we are once again able to outfit our graduating LGBTQ+ and allied participants with regalia at no cost to them.
We are also excited to reveal our new stole that will be included as part of the regalia package!
We invite all of our donors, family and friends to join us at the Rainbow Graduation Celebration on Saturday, May 20, 2023 at 5pm PDT at the Peters Educational Center within the Student Recreation Center. To join us in the fesitivities and honor our graduating class of 2023, please be sure to register as a guest.
Once again, we are so extremely grateful for your generosity and support, and let us continue moving forward in pride!

To everyone who has supported,
On behalf of the Rainbow Alumnx and Allies Club (RAAC), we are continually shocked and humbled by the amount of support we have received in just three weeks, surpassing our $5,000.00 goal in under the two week mark. It is thanks to community members and allies alike that allow us to accomplish great things for our students.
However, our work does not stop when it comes to supporting our LGBTQ+ Bulldogs at Fresno State.
In our remaining days, we are initiating our new goal of "Ten in Ten"! Join us in sharing our case with family, friends, and colleagues as we aim to reach 85 unique donors by April 30, 2023, when our Crowdfunding campaign comes to a close. All of the funds used go to support our Rainbow Graduation Celebration by funding rainbow tassels, medallions and stoles for graduates at no cost to them. Any additional funds are used to support LGBTQ+ programs and initiatives across the University.
Once again, we are so extremely grateful for your help, and let us continue moving forward in pride!
