COMMUNITY GRANTS

Every year, NYC Pride awards thousands of dollars in grant money to LGBTQIA-friendly and LGBTQIA-affirming organizations. The grants are working grants, which means that in order to receive the grant money, members or volunteers from your organization must perform specific functions, as a group, at our NYC Pride events. Grants are awarded in amounts from $500 to $3,500, depending on the commitment.

A total of $10,000 will be awarded to between 1-10 individuals or organizations. Applications will be accepted through August 1, 2020. Recipients will be contacted in August 2020.
