FLoatarama

FLoatarama FLoatarama is a 501(c)3 all-volunteer non-profit dedicated to raising funds to lift up LGBTQ Youth.

FLoatarama is a South Florida non-profit organization raising awareness and funds to support the One-in-Five Youth who identify as LGBTQ+. We put the Fun in Fundraising with captivating events to engage the community and enhance Fort Lauderdale’s appeal as a vibrant & safe LGBTQ+ destination.

Our major Winter event is the elegant evening Sights & Lights Cruise, and we arrange other events and activities throughout the year. FLoatarama has awarded over $250,000 in grants to worthy local recipient agencies providing critical services to LGBTQ+ Youth. Founder’s Club is the core of our organization, with 75+ major donor households who share an interest in building our community and fostering philanthropy. FLoatarama received the 2024 Next Generation of Philanthropy Award from The Our Fund Foundation.
