2018 Donor Opportunities Form
Our Mission
Pride Portland! brings people in the Greater Portland area together for an annual parade, festival, and numerous other events to celebrate and honor the accomplishments of the LGBTQ+ movement, raise awareness of the community’s ongoing struggles, and foster an environment of inclusivity, accessibility, and solidarity. Pride Portland! is entirely volunteer-run and relies on the generous contributions made by organizations, businesses, and individuals for the benefit of the LGBTQ+ community. Your donation this year will help us to raise awareness and highlight the important work of local organizations and businesses at the frontlines of activism, advocacy, and accessibility within our community.
Thank you for your interest in donating to Pride Portland! Being a donor is a meaningful contribution to the Greater Portland LGBTQ+ community. Every donor can say they made a difference this year. Higher levels of involvement have a larger impact and therefore come with corresponding levels of recognition and public awareness in print, on the web, and on social media via the largest Pride in northern New England.
Everything from venues to performances to raffle prizes make Pride Portland! possible. In honor of that, in-kind contributions of goods and services count toward donor levels and corresponding recognition*!
* In-kind contributions must be mutually agreed upon and assessed at actual or fair market value.
