One-on-one support

One-on-one support is where your initiative is matched with a Partner who has the skills to help build capacity in the area you need most. Partners are either organisations or individuals.


What does it include?
Typically, one-on-one support involves the Partner sharing their technical expertise and knowledge with your initiative to help you solve a specific challenge or issue.

For example, if you request help with branding the Partner might help you design a new website. If you request help with increasing donations, the Partner might help create an engagement plan for you, etc.

NB: Neither 123+ nor Partners provide monetary funding or physical resources (such as technology, etc.).

How much does it cost?
We know that most LGBTIQ+ initiatives are underfunded which is why we offer tiered support based on the annual revenue of initiatives—as per the table below. Yes, one-one-one support is free for small organisations (woohoo!).
