Ways to Support Mid-South Pride

Why Support Pride?

Dreams are Free and Universal. Freedom and Equality Are Not.

A gift of any size can help Mid-South Pride carry out our mission and work towards our vision of a world where all LGBTQ+ citizens can proudly express who they are without fear of discrimination, and where social, cultural, and legal equality is guaranteed to all humankind.​

Pride Fest Strengthens our Community and the Memphis Economy

Mid-South Pride is a 100% community-driven organization led by an all-volunteer board of directors. Through Memphis Pride Fest and the Pride Parade, we bring thousands of visitors and a stream of revenue to local businesses every year.

Your Support Keeps Pride Fest Free, Safe & Accessible

We work hard to keep the celebration free, safe and accessible to everyone. Your contributions help us to attain that goal while producing a celebration that brings people together in a positive and meaningful way.

Memphis Pride Fest is Growing... Fast

Between 2010 and 2019, attendance at Memphis Pride Fest grew from around 4,000 to 35,000 guests. That's a 27% increase each year. If that trend continues, Pride Fest could be host to over 100,000 visitors by 2025, which means that your support is vital to helping us rise to the occasion and meet the demands of a celebration on that scale.

Pride is Empowering, but it Ain't Cheap

The annual budget to produce Memphis Pride Fest and Parade now exceeds $120,000, which is funded through the support of individuals, local businesses and corporate partners. Donations at any level will be well utilized and sincerely appreciated.
