At Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras, our partnerships are vitally important to us. Our family of partners provide critical investment in our organisation to enable us to put on two significant events in NSW for free – Parade and Fair Day. Our partners increase the capacity of our organisation to deliver phenomenal events with a significant impact on our communities both in NSW, across Australia and the world. We bring hundreds of thousands of people together every year, strengthening community connections, building loving and safe spaces, and ultimately – saving lives.

For half a decade Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras has called upon our Ethical Charter framework during the final stages of prospective partnership opportunities. This ensures we enter into relationships with organisations who share our values and commitment to our communities, and who actively advance our communities’ missions through their audiences, processes, staff and strategies. Simply put, the Ethical Charter framework is the foundation our relationship is built upon and reassures our communities of organisations alignment and active allyship.
