We’ve reached 48% of our $100,000 goal. Thank you all so much for your continued partnership and support of MashUp Weekend. We truly can’t thank you enough.
As you all know, being a part of the MashUp family is more than cutting a check. The trust we have built across Nashville as a source for community care, safe spaces, and cultural programming is something we hold with pride. When you support MashUp, you benefit from that trust too. We want to invest in you, celebrate you, and grow a partnership that lasts.
Our 2025 MashUp Weekend brought more than 800 people together for healing, joy, and connection. Guests called it “safe,” “transformative,” and “the absolute best.” With your support, we will go even bigger in 2026. This community deserves a weekend where Black q***r folks don’t just exist, but thrive. A weekend that celebrates our art, our pleasure, our families, our resilience, and the future we’re creating together.
Black LGBTQ+ communities are facing rising political and financial barriers. MashUp remains a lifeline of care, connection, and joy. Even after losing a major CDC grant in early 2025, we chose to rise, expand our partnerships, and keep critical programs alive for the people who rely on them. Your sponsorship keeps this work going. Every dollar helps heal trauma, expand access to affirming care, and uplift Black LGBTQ+ voices. If you feel called to support, we have sponsorship tiers, individual monthly donation tiers, and one-time donation options on our website (linked in our bio): https://www.mashupnation.org/mashup-weekend-sponsorships
