Lickety Split smut zine Seeks Fundraiser Fantastico!!


Lickety Split smut zine is searching for self-motivated, organized and outgoing volunteer to help us make our fundraising dreams come true!

We are looking for a creative individual who has a knack for drumming up a diverse array of fun and innovative fundraising strategies and events ⎯ be they silent auctions, rock shows, workshops, sponsorships, you name it. If you’ve got the ideas and the chutzpah to make them a reality, we want to hear about it!

As always, the ability to work autonomously and in collaboration with the Lickety Split team, volunteers, and especially our event planner, is a must — as is a keen sense of what makes people open their wallets and pull out their chequebooks. Now is an especially exciting time to be part of the Lickety Split team and, as the zine grows, we are looking for someone to help us expand our revenue streams to include sponsors, grants and promotion of membership and subscriptions. As fundraiser, your main responsibilities would include:

  • Planning and organizing fundraising events alone and with the Lickety Split team
  • Approaching and maintaining relationships with current and potential sponsors
  • The creation and maintenance of Lickety Split's sponsorship database
  • Ongoing research into applicable grants and similar revenue streams
  • Development of membership and promotion of subscriptions

Though this is currently an unpaid gig, refreshments, space and time will be available as well as major kudos, high fives and freebies along the way. Each issue of Lickety Split relies heavily on the revenue generated by fundraising and your contribution in this capacity is essential to our production!

For those of you who are interested in beefing up your resume, or have talent to share, please send a cover letter and your CV to Sarah at sarah@licketysplitzine.com. What’s more, we’re happy to be approached by students who are interested in this position as an internship/Co-op opportunity.

The deadline to apply is September 30th, 5pm. Lickety Split is an equal opportunity "employer" and members of traditionally disadvantaged groups are encouraged to apply.

Lickety Split is a pansexual smut zine dedicated to encouraging sex-positive expression and thought. The zine promotes collaborative art making and encourages diverse contributions to climb into bed with one another, because one sexual expression just does not satisfy. Lickety Split wants to help make the masses cum with smutty photography and art, essays and stories in order to fulfill the whole human being and address the complexity of sex.
