NewFest Future Fund
Support the future of LGBTQ+ film
From our annual New York LGBTQ Film Festival, to year-round screenings, panels, talkbacks and events, NewFest’s programs lift every voice in our community. Your support ensures that underfunded programs like free high school screenings for LGBTQ+ youth, and free ticketing programs for LGBTQ+ seniors and underserved communities, can continue.

Become a Sponsor
Reach NYC’S largest LGBTQ+ Audience
We can curate customized sponsorship programs and installations that both elevate your brand and champion LGBTQ+ artists and storytellers. Bring queer cinema to your LGBTQ+ ERG, or receive excellent brand visibility at NYC’s premiere LGBTQ+ event. For more information, please contact Radhika Rajkumar at radhikarajkumar@newfest.org.
