San Diego Pride’s 2027 Community Grants
Since 1998, San Diego Pride has invested more than $3 million back into LGBTQIA+ communities through our Community Grants Program. Today, however, San Diego Pride is facing serious financial challenges as we navigate many of the same pressures affecting LGBTQIA+ and nonprofit organizations across the country. Declining corporate philanthropy and sponsorship, uncertainty in public funding, rising costs and continued community need are requiring us to make difficult decisions about how we steward our resources.
As part of this work, San Diego Pride will temporarily pause our Community Grants Program in 2027.
We recognize the impact this decision may have, particularly for small and midsized organizations for whom grants of any size can provide critical resources for programs, services and community-building. We do not take that impact lightly.
This is a pause, not an abandonment of our commitment to community philanthropy. San Diego Pride has a long legacy of investing back into the movement, and we remain committed to restoring the Community Grants Program as soon as it is financially feasible to do so.
