The goal of the crowdfunding campaign is $200,000, said Bruce Townsend, chair of the World OutGames host committee, the Miami Beach-Miami Sports & Cultural League. Donations are tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the donor’s local laws
Revenue from the crowdfunding campaign will go towards establishing the World OutGames Miami Outreach Fund, a program to provide financial assistance to participants from around the world who may otherwise not have the financial resources to attend the Games. Additional funds generated from the campaign will support World OutGames Miami’s global outreach program to ensure LGBTQI and allied participants from the four corners of the globe are invited to Miami as well as provide operations funding to prepare for the event which is less than 1,000 days away.
The 60-day crowdfunding campaign will be hosted by Indiegogo, the first and largest global crowdfunding site, where donations can be made at http://igg.me/at/OutGamesMiami
