Peer-to-Peer Fundraising
Peer-to-peer fundraising is a great way to share Lambda Legal’s work with your friends, family, and community—and raise money to defend and expand rights for the LGBTQ+ community and everyone living with HIV.
Peer-to-peer fundraising multiplies your individual impact: Say you want to donate $100 to Lambda Legal. By starting a P2P campaign, you could challenge your friends to match your $100—and if five friends join in, you’ve just raised $600 for the cause!
