RSVP HERE

An evening where every conversation and every shared memory reinforces our commitment to a more inclusive future.

Through attending this event, you are affirming your commitment to writing the next chapter in the story of LGBTQ+ rights. Your generosity fuels advocacy initiatives, powers transformative community projects, and ensures that the spirit of Pride continues to inspire all corners of the globe.

World Pride DC 2025 is more than a parade or a festival; it is a global statement of inclusion.

 

The Pride365 Fund

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.
