Sponsorships
Youth Pride would like to express our gratitude to current and former sponsors of the organization. Their support and generosity have allowed us to continue serving our mission: to meet the unique, ongoing needs of LGBTQ+ youth and young adults through direct service, support, advocacy, and education.
Sponsorships are a vital source of revenue for nonprofit organizations. If you are interested in sponsoring YPI’s annual soirée, becoming a Pride Month sponsor, or just becoming a general sponsor, check out our sponsorship tiers here.
