Your Support is Vital
Like most non-profit organizations, Les 3 sex* is in a precarious financial situation. For many years now, organizations have been facing a reduction of “mission-based” funding. Mission-based funding entails that an organization receives funding on an annual basis covering its administrative expenses such as rent, administrative staff salaries, day-to-day operations, and ongoing activities.
Organizations are competing for project-based funding, preventing them from fulfilling their mission. This type of funding generally comes with has serious constraints to which organizations must adhere, for example :
- projects depend on departmental or government priorities;
- projects have a limited timeframe (organization cannot extend projects once funding expires);
- only a small portion of the budget (10 to 15%) can be allocated to administrative expenses (salaries, rent, insurance, accounting, etc.).
Added to this, the lack of guaranteed recurrence of subsidies and the short duration of projects (rarely lasting more than two years) mean that community organizations remain in a precarious financial situation.
For all these reasons, is it essential for Les 3 sex* to diversify its funding sources. This would enable us to focus on issues that are less frequently targeted by government calls for projects, to pose a variety of political actions and to defend sexual rights among the general population.
With your financial support, Les 3 sex* will be able to devote itself fully and freely to defending and fighting for sexual rights and sexual health.
