Help Lift Up Minnesota’s LGBTQIA+ Community

The Porch exists to shine a light on Minnesota’s LGBTQIA+ community by celebrating our people, supporting local businesses, amplifying diverse voices and creating meaningful connections.

We’re building more than a digital publication. We’re creating a place where our community can discover one another, support one another and grow stronger together.

And we’d like you to help us build it.

Our Goal:

25 Founding Partners

As we launch The Porch, we’re aiming to bring together 25 businesses and organizations as our inaugural Founding Porch Partners.

These are businesses that believe a stronger community benefits all of us. Businesses that understand visibility matters. And businesses willing to step forward at the beginning to help make something new possible.

This is more than advertising.

It’s an opportunity to invest in a stronger LGBTQIA+ community while putting your business alongside a mission that matters.

And wherever The Porch goes from here, our Founding Partners will always be recognized as the businesses and organizations that helped us get there.

Become a Founding Partner

Every Founding Partner becomes Part of our story

No matter which level you choose, Founding Porch Partners receive something that can’t be purchased later: recognition for helping The Porch get started.

Our inaugural partners will be permanently recognized on The Porch as the businesses and organizations that believed in the idea and helped bring it to life.

Because there’s a difference between joining something after it succeeds and helping make its success possible.

Why your partnership matters

Your investment helps The Porch:

Lift up LGBTQIA+ voices

Celebrate local artists, entrepreneurs and community leaders

Support nonprofits and community organizations

Connect readers with businesses that believe in our community

Produce independent journalism and original storytelling

Build a stronger, more connected Minnesota

We’re not asking you to invest in page views

We’re asking you to invest in people.

Together, we can create something that informs, inspires, connects and lifts up our community for years to come.

Help us Reach 25
