After 15 years of advocacy and empowerment, the Board of Directors of The Cupcake Girls officially announces that the organization will begin a formal dissolution process.
Since 2011, we have been a pioneering force in the "Rights Not Rescue" movement and while we didn't always get it "right" over the years we did our best to listen, learn, and change. What began as an outreach effort in Las Vegas strip clubs evolved into a multi-state advocacy network providing peer support, referrals, and financial assistance to thousands. Throughout our time of service, we worked tirelessly to replace stereotypes with understanding and pivot to ensure the voices of those we served were included in critical conversations.
Key Info:
* Physical Office Closure: Our offices will close permanently on May 8, 2026.
* Participant Continuity: We are working directly with active participants to transition their care to vetted community partners.
* Resource Availability: Our Advocacy and Mentorship programs will officially close on April 30, 2026.
* Record Security: All sensitive client data is being handled securely in accordance with Nevada state law.
This decision was not made lightly. While our mission remains as vital as ever, the landscape of nonprofit sustainability has shifted. A diverse array of local and national pressures have significantly affected the fundraising landscape. While the organization is dissolving, the standard of care we championed and the community we built remain.
We want to thank the donors, volunteers, and partners who made this work possible. You helped us prove that respect and resources can truly change lives. We invite our supporters to continue this mission by championing organizations that will carry this torch forward - and we plan to highlight those over the next month here and on our website. If you feel called to we are still accepting donations to assist in our wind-down costs and to best steward our participants and staff through the days to come.
