MAKING IT HAPPEN...
Scholarships require generosity. Year-round programming requires generosity. Fun and over the top events requires generosity. Gay & Sober is still young and can't raise funds like an ordinary Roundup. Most established Roundups and Conventions have a prudent reserve from prior years. We depend on registrations and community giving to meet our financial obligations.
This is where we you come in...
Every dollar counts and you are helping us turn this vision into a reality. This unique convention has the potential to help so many people. Your generosity will be helping us to help others to get and stay sober. Thank you in advance for your patronage. We are so grateful for your support. All contributions and donations are tax-deductible.
QCD through IRA:
Are you over age 70 with an IRA account? You can now designate a portion or all of your annual IRA distribution and not pay any taxes on it. You'll also be supporting our mission and making a real difference. A QCD (Qualified Charitable Distribution) through IRA allows people aged 70.5 or older to transfer up to $111,000 per year directly from their retirement account to our charity. This transfer is tax-free and can satisfy your Required Minimum Distribution without adding to your taxable income. Click here to download the form.

Gay & Sober Inc. is not associated with the Big Apple Roundup Inc. Gay & Sober Inc. and Big Apple Roundup Inc. are both autonomous and separate business entities. As described in the long form of AA’s 3rd Tradition, and like meetings at other Roundups, the main AA meeting at the GSM Conference by group conscious considers itself an AA group. As such, the AA meeting at the Gay & Sober Conference makes Special Contributions annually to support the work of Alcoholics Anonymous. Questions concerning our support can be directed to the Alcoholics Anonymous Contributions Department at 212-870-3400.
