Become an Event Sponsor

At HEAL NS, we are always seeking passionate sponsors - whether they are individuals, businesses, or larger corporate partners - who want to create meaningful change in our community. Your support directly fuels our mission to raise awareness, promote education, and support vital programs related to HIV prevention and 2S/LGBTQIA+ health across Nova Scotia.

By sponsoring HEAL NS, you're not just contributing financially, you're making a bold statement that you care about health equity and public well-being. Your sponsorship helps us host impactful awareness events, develop outreach campaigns, and expand our programs that serve those living with or at risk of HIV.

Thanks to our sponsors, we’re able to reach more people, recruit more volunteers, and increase the visibility of life-saving prevention and support resources. The ripple effect of your support is powerful and it helps reduce stigma, build community, and improve outcomes for those who need it most.

If you or someone you know are passionate about HIV awareness and 2S/LGBTQIA+ health, we invite you to become a sponsor today. Together, we can create lasting, positive change in Nova Scotia.

Through our sponsorship opportunities, you can: 

  • have your company’s name/logo featured prominently at public events, in outreach materials, and across HEAL NS’s digital platforms 
  • build trust and loyalty with socially conscious consumers who value companies that give back
  • boost morale by involving employees in meaningful volunteer and advocacy opportunities
  • show leadership in addressing pressing public health issues and supporting underrepresented communities
