Give to the Max Day and #GivingTuesday Are Almost Here!

Don't miss these two exciting opportunities to support BOP and BECAUSE this November! BOP is a volunteer-run 501c3 non-profit. Your contributions go directly toward building and supporting Minnesota's bi+ community. What can your donation accomplish? 

• Sponsor pay-what-you-can and no cost admission to BECAUSE, the largest and longest-running conference for the bi+ community in the United States.
• Support BOP's presence at local and regional Pride festivals.
• Provide free meals and food at BECAUSE and other BOP events, to make these programs more accessible to our diverse community. 
• Allow BOP to provide free social events and community spaces year-round, such as our Bi+ Book Club, Bi+ Discussion Meetups, Bi+ Walking Club, Bi+ Board Game Nights, "Pancakes for Pansexuals", and many more! 
• Help BOP to produce our annual Bi-Lesque performance, which has been hailed as "one of the most important burlesque shows in [the Twin Cities]." 

Bi+ individuals make up 52% of the LGBTQ+ population, and experience significantly higher rates of mental illness, sexual assault and intimate partner violence, substance abuse and chemical dependency, workplace discrimination, poverty, and social isolation than gay, lesbian, and heterosexual populations. However, according to Funders for LGBTQ Issues, institutional funding of bisexual issues and organizations has been the lowest of all LGBTQ+ demographics tracked since 2002, and most LGBTQ+ organizations still do not offer bi+ specific resources or programming. Your donations go directly towards helping the bi+ community thrive!
