Who We Are
Aurora is a charitable organisation that hosts fundraising events within the lesbian, gay, bi and transgender communities to bring friends together in the spirit of joy and celebration. These events are important fundraisers that also bring celebration, glamour and joy to our community.
We exist so people can donate to a broad range of causes and we are the organisation people choose when they want their money to benefit the community as a whole and not just one specific cause. Our grants program takes applications from charitable organisations seeking funds for work focused on benefitting the GLBT community in NSW and who do not receive regular funding for their programs from government or community fundraising.
Aurora's purpose is to organise and promote events, exhibitions, forums and other activities which raise funds for disbursement and which bring people together in a spirit of companionship, fun, sharing and giving.
For over 15 years the Aurora family has sought to achieve this and we are proud of the glamorous events, the fun conversations and the hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations to our community that have happened along the way.
How will the Funds be used?
Aurora is committed to raising funds to support gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender communities across New South Wales.
