The New Boston Pride Committee, Inc., d/b/a Boston Pride, a nonprofit organizations founded in 1970, produces events and activities to achieve inclusivity, equality, respect, and awareness in Greater Boston and beyond. Fostering diversity, unity, visibility, and dignity, we educate, communicate, and advocate by building and strengthening community connections.
The Boston Pride Community Fund was established in 2016 and is currently funded via the JP and Back Bay Block Parties, and in addition Boston Pride commits 10% of all Sponsorship dollars towards the Community Fund. Once a year, in support of our vision and mission, we will give back monies raised in our Community Fund to non-profit organizations and grassroots groups that are doing work within our community with an eye towards smaller organizations, new/innovative programs, and intersectional proposals.
Through the Boston Pride Community Fund, we aim to offer support and visibility to small and community-based projects, and in addition capital improvement projects benefiting the LGBTQ community.
