Seattle’s LGBTQIA+ community is fortunate to have a number of nonprofits and grassroots organizations advocating in support of diversity, inclusivity, and equal human rights. Since 2017, we’ve awarded more than $250,000 in grants and sponsorships to many of them—because we can do more good, when we do it together.
In addition, we provide free Pride Parade registrations to dozens of organizations each year through our Sponsorship Program, prioritize free and pay-what-you can event fees, and distributed over $58,000 in COVID-19 Emergency Relief Funds.
Grant & Sponsorship Applications are now open
Our Application process runs on a quarterly cycle. Applications can be submitted at any point throughout the year and will be considered with the group in which it falls.

Grants are typically used for an organization's ongoing work, such as covering the cost of a position to carry out the mission of the organization. Grants also come with reporting requirements.
Sponsorships tend to be event-specific, such as helping pay for some of an event costs in return for recognition in the program.
Of course!
Grants are made out of our Seattle Out & Proud Foundation (501c3) to help further your work.
Sponsorships come out of Seattle Pride's (501c4) organization to help you deliver event-specific, finite work.
Grants and sponsorship are awarded quarterly in March, June, Sept, and December, depending on which cycle you submitted your application.
Absolutely! Reporting requirements and paperwork should never be a barrier to receiving much-needed funds. Please reach out to Seattle Pride at Hello@SeattlePride.org for support!
