But This Year, We’re Facing Real Challenges.
As many companies scale back their DEI commitments, LGBTQ+ organizations like ours are feeling the loss. Sponsors have pulled out. Costs continue to rise. And while we’re proud to keep admission price affordable —because accessibility matters—we can’t sustain this work without community support.
That’s why we launched 50 for the Future , a monthly giving campaign in honor of our 50th anniversary.


Be Part of What Comes Next
When you become a sustaining donor—whether it’s $5 or $500 a month —you’re investing in the future of Pride in Memphis. You’re supporting year-round programming, community outreach, and the spaces where people can be their fullest selves.
And as a thank-you, we’ll send you a special gift that celebrates your commitment to this work. Because Pride isn’t just about one weekend—it’s about building something that lasts.
If Mid-South Pride has ever made you feel like you belonged—this is your moment to give back.
