Help us keep the water warm, the gates open, and the welcome wide

Every donation makes a difference. It helps us buy training equipment, hire pool space, develop coaches and referees, and reduce the financial barriers that prevent people—especially those in LGBTQIA+ communities—from accessing sport.

We also use donations to support members attending major competitions like the Gay Games and International LGBTQIA+ tournaments, ensuring everyone has the chance to represent their community on the world stage.

Your gift helps us continue to show up for each other and for our wider community—with pride, purpose, and heart.

Let’s make waves together

We’re currently welcoming interest from sponsors and partners who share our values. Supporting the Sydney Stingers means aligning your brand with inclusion, visibility, and the transformative power of community sport.

As a club, we’re active year-round—competing locally and internationally, running our all-gender INTRA league, and marching proudly in the Sydney Mardi Gras Parade. Our members come from all walks of life, and we engage thousands of supporters across events, social media, and the wider water polo community. View our sponsorship prospectus and reach out to our executive team to explore how we can work together.

We give back to the communities that lift us up

Being part of the Sydney Stingers isn’t just about what happens in the pool—it’s about showing up for the wider community too.
Each year, we support a range of causes that align with our values of inclusion, health, and connection.

• ACON
  We’re proud to be an ACON Community Partner, supporting LGBTQIA+ health and HIV awareness across NSW. From the Red Ribbon Appeal to volunteer events, our members regularly lend their time and voices to this vital work.

• Laps for Life
  Every year, our members take to the pool to raise funds through Laps for Life, supporting youth mental health and suicide prevention through ReachOut. It’s a campaign close to our hearts—because mental health matters, and sport can be a powerful way to stay connected and strong.

These initiatives are part of what makes our club more than a team—we’re a community with purpose, passion, and heart.
