Sponsorship Information | ND LGTBQIA2S+ Summit

Dear Friends of the Summit – We have exciting NEWS!

The 8th Annual ND LGBTQIA2S+ Summit will be held October 3-5, 2025

at the NDSU Memorial Union in Fargo.

As we gather again over three days this fall, Summit attendees will hear from national, regional, and local presenters at both the Professional Development Day and the 2-day Summit. These informative and thought-provoking sessions will include professionals and advocates speaking on issues of health care, education, social services, civil rights, and much more in these challenging and changing times. The target audience for the weekend are members of the LGBTQIA2S+ community (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual, Two Spirit), along with their allies, friends, and those who serve this community across the region.

Through your sponsorship of the 8th Annual ND LGBTQIA2S+ Summit, you can show your support for the community, their family members, allies, and organizations that recognize the value of a diverse and inclusive North Dakota.

With your help, we can continue to provide the quality programming that our attendees have come to expect. Funds raised pay for presenters, facility, equipment, and educational materials, as well as scholarships. Attached to this letter, you will find a detailed explanation of Summit Sponsorship opportunities. Please note that our fiscal sponsor, North Dakota Human Rights Coalition (NDHRC), is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, which may qualify your donation as tax-deductible.

We are extremely proud that the North Dakota LGBTQIA2S+ Summit is celebrating the milestone of having hosted seven consecutive years of statewide community-building programming on issues that are important to the state and regions lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, 2-Spirit, Queer, Intersex, asexual North Dakotans, and their allies. With year over year growth, the Summit continues to expand its outreach. Over the years, the Summit has hosted nearly 1,800 attendees.

It cannot be overstated what it means to have this kind of representation and camaraderie from across North Dakota, the Midwest region, and the nation at this once-a-year event.
