Cincinnati: we need your help​​

2025 is already proving to be one of the most important moments in time for our community. That’s why we at Cincinnati Pride have made the decision to reset our expectations around organizations that we partner with this year. While our organization relies heavily on achieving financial goals to help achieve our mission, we cannot in good conscience continue to collaborate with organizations that work against our mission of providing the greater Cincinnati LGBTQ+ community with resources to positively impact the lives of all individuals regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, or expression. This decision puts a significant amount of funding at risk. ​

Financial investments from individual donors within our local community will supplement the dollars given to us from corporate sponsorships. Your donation will ensure we can continue providing year-round programming for our community, including a free festival and parade for all LGBTQIA+ individuals and allies to attend, and continued financial support to local community organizations through our community grants. With your help, we can continue to provide spaces and resources as we continue to fight for full equality for all people.
