| Why do we need to raise fund? |
| All of the costs of the Hong Kong Pride Parade are from donations only without receiving any form of sponsorship from the Government or funder. Further, all members of the organizing committee work on voluntary basis. We only have one short-term contract (2-month) part-time assistant to handle tons of work around the clock. |
| |
| Why $100,000 production fee is needed? |
| Last year, 1,000 people joined the parade. As we have moved ahead our publicity and promotional agenda and increased our collaborating partners, we foresee there is an estimation of 2,000 people joining the parade this year. Increase in the participants brings substantial increase in the production costs and other expenditures. |
