We believe that Pride is more than any single event, it’s a commitment that we make 365 days a year. Contributions to the Pride365 Fund help to provide direct financial support to local community organizations for programs that celebrate and enrich lives of members of the LGBTQ+ community; expand access to programs, events, and activities to ensure inclusivity; and promote events and programs that provide visibility and elevate the voices of the LGBTQ+ community. *
As we get closer to celebrating 50 years of Pride in the Nation’s Capital and WorldPride Washington, DC in 2025, your support will help to ensure we can continue to gather at events like the annual Capital Pride Parade, Pride Festival, and Concert, and keep them free to attend. In addition, your donations will help to support new and expanded events that will enhance the WorldPride Washington, DC experience.
Whether you’re making a one-time donation, a monthly gift, or creating your own fundraiser, we appreciate your support.
*Contributions are tax deductible to the extent allowed by the law.
Established in 2021, the Pride365 Fund is the Capital Pride Alliance’s answer to the ever-increasing need for financial support amongst LGBTQ+ organizations in the National Capital Region. Nearly 10 percent of residents in the Nation’s capital identify as LGBTQ+, yet local LGBTQ+ organizations often lack equitable access to taxpayer funded initiatives, government and private grants, and other important opportunities that enable non-profit organizations to provide critical services to their fullest extent. Facilitated by the Capital Pride Alliance, the Fund awards financial resources to 501(c)(3) organizations that demonstrate a commitment to the LGBTQ+ community 365 days a year.
Non-profit organizations, businesses, and individuals can become a fundraising partner to help raise money for the LGBTQ+ community, through the Pride365 Fund. Simply, create a GivePride365 fundraising page, by selecting “I Want To Fundraise For This“, and choose to fundraise as an individual or an organization (team). Once your fundraising page is created, share it through your social media platforms, email lists, and work-of-mouth.
For an organization to be eligible for GivePride365 funding, their primary mission must be to serve the local LGBTQ+ community. Participants must be a registered 501(c)(3) organization or have a fiscal agent that is. The grant cycle begins in October of each year, with awards announced on #GivingTuesday.
This fund is administered by the Capital Pride Alliance, Inc. a recognized 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that is incorporated in the District of Columbia.
