SEVIER CO LGBTQ NON-PROFIT FUNDRAISES FOR THE YEAR: Sevier LGBTQ+ Neighbors is an LGBTQ supportive non-profit located in the Foothills of the Smoky Mountains. Sevier LGBTQ+ Neighbors holds monthly events including a DineOUT with Pride: dinner gathering at a local restaurant, a Game Night, Virtual Movie Night, and Online Support Group. The organization's largest event is an Equality Festival typically held in Sevier Co TN. This fall 2026 marks the 3rd Anniversary of the Equality Fest event.

The Non-Profit stated on their "Give Butter" fundraising platform, "Love is the guiding force behind everything we do. We believe that love has the power to bring people together, to heal wounds, and to create positive change. With love as our main theme, we aspire to build a more compassionate and inclusive world, where love triumphs over hate, where acceptance overcomes prejudice, and where every member of the LGBTQ+ community can thrive and live their lives authentically.

Together, with the support of our members, partners, and allies, we will continue to ensure that love is at the forefront of our work, as we strive to make a lasting impact on the lives of those we serve.

We will use these funds (from fundraiser) for operating costs for Sevier LGBTQ+ Neighbors. This will help us to continue to provide FREE events for members and friends and allies. We also use these funds to pay for yearly filing fees, domain name, administrative cost and we hope to fund our annual summer members appreciation Day."
