Community Partner Program

✨ The Heart of SF Pride

The Community Partner Program is the foundation of our entire grant-giving mission. Without our partner organizations working at Pride, there would be no Pride.

Community Partner nonprofits are the backbone of our event—staffing grandstands, running accessibility areas, managing beverage sales booths, operating donation gates, working backstage, and supporting virtually every aspect of the celebration. In return for their essential work, these organizations earn grants to fund their vital services throughout the year.

This is how we make Pride possible while empowering the organizations that serve our community every single day.
