Friends of Emerald City
It takes a community to build an Emerald City.
Emerald City Kickball is proudly community-driven and volunteer-led. Our partners and supporters help us create welcoming, accessible and affirming opportunities for LGBTQIA+ people to play, connect and belong.
Through financial support, in-kind contributions and community collaboration, our partners help us strengthen local experiences, support our volunteers and create opportunities that reach beyond the kickball field.
Emerald Partners
Helping EC Kickball shine a little brighter. Our Emerald Partners provide significant financial, in-kind or strategic support that helps us grow our communities, create new opportunities and make kickball more accessible to LGBTQIA+ people across Australia and New Zealand.
Kickball Clubhouses
Building community on and off the field. Our Kickball Clubhouses are the venues that give our communities somewhere to connect, eat, drink, celebrate, and remind ourselves we are a community first. Look for your local Clubhouse and join us after the final kick.
Community Partners
Community is bigger than the kickball field. We’re proud to work alongside LGBTQIA+ organisations, community groups and collaborators who champion our members, share opportunities and help us create stronger, more connected communities.
Government & Community Support
Every Emerald City needs somewhere to play. We’re grateful to the councils, public bodies and community organisations that help us access fields, facilities, funding and opportunities to bring inclusive community sport to life.
GiveOUT Supporters
A little generosity can travel a very long way. Our GiveOUT supporters help us reduce barriers to participation and invest in initiatives that strengthen connection, wellbeing and access across our communities. Thank you for helping more kickballers find their place in Emerald City.
Programs & Collaborations
Some of our biggest ideas happen when communities come together. Through national campaigns, major events and sector collaborations, these organisations have helped us take Emerald City beyond our regular seasons, test new ideas and create opportunities we couldn’t deliver alone.
