Seattle Pride Impact Fund

Forward, Not Back.

Since 2018, the Seattle Pride Impact Fund has distributed over $500,000 to organizations working at the heart of care, advocacy, and celebration for Seattle’s LGBTQIA2S+ community. This isn’t just about funding—it’s about fostering collaboration and creating a brighter, more inclusive future.

In 2025, we are prioritizing grassroots initiatives and collaborative programs that focus on uplifting LGBTQIA2S+ Arts & Culture, Youth Empowerment, BIPOC leadership, and Trans and Gender Non-Conforming (GNC) communities. Together, we’re building collective power and resilience for Seattle’s LGBTQIA2S+ community.
