We are in the thick of our Matching Campaign and we just wanted to thank you all so much for continuing to support us during our fundraising efforts! Since the matching challenge began on August 25, we’ve raised $3,560 in donations. With the one to one match provided by our generous donors (up to $11,000), that means we’re $7,120 closer to our $25,000 individual funding goal.
This year is a pivotal year for GGC and fundraisers, like this campaign, are critical for us to continue providing the convention you all know and love. But what else are we doing? Since the beginning of the year, our awesome sponsorship and grant manager has obtained $40,400 in grants and sponsorships! How amazing is that!? We’re so thankful to these organizations for believing in us and supporting our efforts to continue GGC into 2026 and the future.
As we’ve shared before, GeekGirlCon is entirely run by volunteers and all money raised goes directly into making the convention happen.
Our volunteer staff is the heart and soul of this organization. Without them, GGC wouldn’t be nearly as lovingly curated and run as it is year after year. Our volunteers do anything from coordinating the gaming hall to getting our panels on stream to helping make everyone’s experience enjoyable during the convention. If volunteering for a cool nonprofit convention sounds like fun to you, we’d love to have you! Consider looking at our openings!

One of our biggest fundraising events of the year is upon us! Today, August 25th, we are launching our official match campaign. A few very generous donors have offered to match any donations we receive up to $11,000!
As you all may be aware, GeekGirlCon is among the many non-profits facing financial struggles right now. With our current deficit, we are unfortunately looking at the possibility that GGC might not return in 2026. To address this, we’ve been focusing our efforts on trying to make our convention the best it can be while implementing changes in order to make the convention sustainable to run this year and in years to come. Additionally, we’ve had our grants manager and many other staff pitching in trying to secure funding. If you’re interested in learning more about our financial situation, you can read more about it here.
In case you haven’t heard of a match campaign before, this is how it works:
For every dollar raised to help the convention, a donor will match that dollar up to our maximum match amount of $11,000. That’s a lot of dollars! With this campaign alone, we will be close to our individual funding goal of $25,000 that we set for 2025.
So what is going to happen with our match campaign?
The match campaign is going to run from August 25th until the end of GGC2025, on November 9th. Each week, we will be providing updates about how the match is progressing and how the money raised can be used to help fund a part of GGC that you know and love. Additionally, throughout the campaign, we’re going to have our president, Hadeel, completing fun challenges with each milestone reached.
If you would like to help us reach our match goal and get us closer to our individual funding goal, you can donate here between now and November 9th.
