Support

BurlyCon relies on support from benefactors, sponsors, partners, affiliates, vendors, advertisers, and individual donors. All of these make our work possible and open greater access to scholarships and community programs. They also allow us to create new social and learning opportunities that are accessible, welcoming, and artist-centered.

Support sustains every part of BurlyCon.

Donations help reduce financial barriers for artists. Sponsorships and advertising level up programs, events, and our annual convention. Partnerships and vendor participation strengthen our shared ecosystem. Affiliate relationships help extend our reach while aligning with trusted tools and services. Grant funding allows us to grow thoughtfully and respond to community needs. Attending the annual convention is one of the most direct ways to help! Each form of support plays a role. Some contributors give financially. Others share resources, services, or visibility. All of it helps BurlyCon remain a stable organization focused on creative growth.

There is no single way to participate.

Some supporters engage once. Others return year after year. What matters most is that support at every level helps. Together, this collective care strengthens both BurlyCon and the broader burlesque industry and community.
