Donation Options

The best way to help LGBTQ+ of FIRST is to fund the Rainbow Stem Alliance through its GoFundMe. This helps with operation costs of running a nonprofit organization and helps us be able to provide more pins. Pins are also available online through Andymark for $5.00, a purchase that also helps raise money for the Rainbow STEM Alliance.

Staff Tiers of Involvement

Student Administrators, or Admin, are the executive decision-making body of the LGBTQ+ of FIRST, with the final vote on all important topics.
  • Oversee all operations and responsibilities of the organization
  • Only LGBTQ+ students who are currently members of an FRC or FTC Team may hold this position
  • Admin Applications are open periodically here. Announcements will be made when they are open

Moderators are a special staff role separate from the main LGBTQ+ of FIRST staff body specifically aimed at helping govern and maintain the Discord server.
  • Oversee and maintain Discord operations
  • Any member of the LGBTQ+ of FIRST Discord server may apply at any time here.

Representatives are the primary outreach force of the LGBTQ+ of FIRST, representing the initiative and planning/creating projects.
  • Attend weekly meetings, contribute ideas, and serve as a legislative body to the Admins

  • Interested Partner Teams for any tier may apply at any time here

Silver Tier Partners are those involved a step above the Bronze Tier

    • Hosting at least one official LGBTQ+ of FIRST meetup per season at a regional, district, or district championship competition, or at a public community center.
    • Printing out professionally made and approved LGBTQ+ of FIRST brochures, business cards, or other future materials.

Gold Tier Partners are those who go above and beyond in the LGBTQ+ of FIRST
  • Gold Teams additionally commit to host at least one original LGBTQ+ of FIRST themed presentation or event (meetups not included) approved by the LGBTQ+ of FIRST Admins per season. Examples include: roundtable discussions, presentations, seminars, community service events, and others.
