About Partnerships

Kink Between the Lines' Partnership Program gives us the means to thrive while also building reciprocal relationships with our community. Our Partners are vital to our success as a small, volunteer-run conference; your donation allows us to grow and continue to provide a space for discussing marginalization in kink. We are the only conference on this topic in the world! We believe that Partnership should be exactly that A Partnership. We offer Partnerships at many levels to keep it open and accessible for small businesses and individuals to contribute and we also throw in a ton of perks and freebies. Most of all: we work with you every step of the way with 1:1 attention for each of our Partners.

Mutual Aid Advertising

Kink Between the Lines believes in mutual aid and lifting up marginalized voices and our Partners, beyond having their names, logos, and links listed in various places, are also encouraged to sign up to be mutual aid advertisers. If you agree, you can occasionally send us social media posts or big announcements that we will post to our followers on your behalf. In return we also add you to a mailing list of people who are willing to advertise on our behalf. It's a great way to increase your brand reach!

Special Partnership Opportunities

Beyond our standard sponsorship tiers, we offer a curated selection of Targeted Sponsorship Opportunities. Designed for organizations ready to make a singular, high-impact contribution, these exclusive slots come with specialized perks and premier recognition.

Please note: Each opportunity is available to only one sponsor, ensuring maximum visibility. To maintain the integrity of these packages, contributions must be made in cash only; unfortunately, we cannot accept raffle items, goods, services, or trade agreements for these specific opportunities.

We welcome the opportunity to work with you on designing a bespoke sponsorship/partnership plan unique to you and your business. These are available for Partners contributing $750+ and layer on top of our existing Rigger offerings.

As an organization, we have big plans for the future including formalized status as a non-profit organization/NGO and launching a certification program for community organizers and leaders (called BRITE - BDSM Reimagining Inclusion Through Equity).

These and other projects need benefactors to get off the ground. We encourage you to reach out to discuss options if you are interested in a bespoke opportunity.
