Where does my donation go?

Pride festivities have grown from a small grassroots march for equal rights into the largest civic event in the region, with activities that span a full week of celebrating the LGBTQ community. In addition to our annual festivities, San Diego Pride has donated more than $3 million dollars to LGBTQ-serving nonprofits and runs multiple year-round education, advocacy, and community service programs.

Your donation to Pride will help fund:

  • Virtual youth programming such as our Queer Youth Power Hours and the Youth Leadership Academy that will help more than 4,000 LGBTQ youth stay connected to LGBTQ services.
  • Coalition groups like the Latinx Coalition, QAPIMEDA Coalition, and the Black LGBTQ Coalition to continue their year-round education and community building work.
  • 30+ programs and events including She Fest, the #MeTooLGBT Summit, The Transgender Day of Empowerment, Pride Youth Marching Band, Vote with Pride, and more.
