Show your support! Funding our Expansion Campaign helps us bridge gaps across difference in more communities and spread our model of Intentional Social Interaction (“IZI”) to more people who need it. There is incredible need throughout our state and country to bring people together equitably and peacefully. We are raising urgently needed funds to bring IZIs, no matter where the need arises. Your support is essential to the growth of IZI in communities that need it the most.

FAQ

Q: Are all costumes allowed?

A: The event will have a strict anti-cultural appropriation policy. Worried your costume might be offensive or appropriative? Err on the side of caution and respect and think up something else. You are encouraged to message us for judgement free and culturally competent advice.

Q: Are scholarships available?

A: Yes! Though we hope those who can afford to support us by paying the price of admission do so, we intend to do everything we can to accommodate anyone who wants to attend whether they can pay or not!

Almost 70% of our revenue and 100% of our operating budget comes from someone who hires us. Every donation goes directly to programming, making IZI accessible to more people.
