Single Step Foundation and The Steps are opening our space and our budget to LGBTI people across Bulgaria who have an idea that belongs in Pride Month 2026. An exhibition. A workshop. A performance. A screening. A gathering. Something to show we belong together as a community. 

We’re funding up to 5 community projects with up to €300 each – whether you need €50 for printing or €200 for materials, the budget is there to fit your idea, not the other way around. We pay all suppliers and vendors directly and you never spend your own money. The space is free. The admin is ours. Your idea. Your community. 

WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

This is for you if you identify as LGBTI and you live anywhere in Bulgaria.

It doesn’t matter if you’ve never organised an event before. It doesn’t matter if you’re not a professional artist. It doesn’t if your idea feels too small, too strange, or too personal.

WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

We are open to any format that is rooted in LGBTI+ experience and open to a community audience:

  • Exhibitions & installations: visual art, photography, zines, textile, mixed media
  • Workshops & skill-shares: creative, practical, community-building
  • Performances: drag, spoken word, music, dance
  • Screenings: short films, documentaries, video art
  • Community gatherings: discussions, readings, parties with a purpose

All events must take place between 1st and 30th June 2026, hosted at The Steps in Sofia, free of charge. 

WHAT DOES €300 COVER?

Up to €300 per project, paid directly by Single Step to your suppliers. 

The fund can be used for: art supplies, props, costumes, printed matter, posters, zines, programmes, signage, advertising, digital promotion, flyer distribution.

What we don’t fund: Travel to/from Sofia and accommodation. Personal fees or salaries. Projects with no LGBTI connection. Projects that promote harm toward any group.

HOW DO I APPLY?

Fill in our short online form – it takes around 5–10 minutes.

APPLY HERE

Deadline: 23:59 h, 26th April 2026

Decisions communicated by: 1st May 2026

Important: Approved applicants will be invited to a short online meeting with our team between 4th–8th May to work through the logistics together.
