Ways to Support 2026 QYLA

Three Ways to Support the Queer Youth Leadership Awards!

Advertise, Sponsor a Table or Donate.

  • Those who donate over $575 will be listed as a co-sponsor.
  • All co-sponsorships confirmed by April 17, 2026 will be featured in the QYLA Printed Program, linked to on the QYLA website, and will have visibility at the event itself.
  • Due to printing deadlines, any co-sponsorships confirmed between April 17 and May 6 will be added to the QYLA website and will have visibility at the event, but will not be able to be in the Printed Program.

Advertise in the 2026 QYLA Printed Program

The 40-page program booklet includes: all of the nominees photo’s and biographies; QYLA information and program for the evening; congratulatory ads from elected officials, businesses, religious and community organizations; and listing of co-sponsors and supporters.

Advertisers over $575 are listed as QYLA co-sponsors and include their logo, link and name placed on the QYLA website & program and acknowledgement from QYLA Stage (event filmed and aired on Community TV). All advertisers are included in signage at QYLA. Please reserve ad space by March 25, 2026. All ad artwork due April 17, 2026.

Sponsor or Host a Table

Whether you’re a group of friends, a business or community organization, consider attending QYLA as a group and sponsoring a table. Each table seats nine (9) or ten (10) persons. You’ll be able to sit together and enjoy the dinner and awards ceremony together. Each table will be listed as a co-sponsor in the Program Booklet if reserved before April 17, 2026. Final table reservations are accepted until May 1st.

Table Sponsors and Hosts will be listed as co-sponsors on our website and will have visibility at the event itself. For more information on table sponsorships, visit the QYLA Table Sponsorship Information Page. Sign up to be a Table Captain!

Donate to the Queer Youth Task Force and the Queer Youth Leadership Awards

Donations to the Queer Youth Task Force (QYTF) help support its many projects, including the Safe Schools Project and the Queer Youth Leadership Awards. Donations to the QYLA help sustain the show, a community project that changes the lives of LGBTQIA2S+ youth by celebrating and recognizing their achievements. Please consider making a donation of any amount by completing the QYLA Fundraising Form. Those who donate over $575 will be listed as a co-sponsor.
