Participation Guidelines
Capital Pride strives to create spaces where all members of our community can celebrate together regardless of differences or disagreements. Groups designated as hate groups by the Southern Poverty Law Center will not be permitted to sponsor or participate.
Donations will generally be accepted from individuals, partnerships, corporations, foundations, government agencies, or other entities. Sponsors will demonstrate a commitment to the LGBTQ+ community through tangible measures such as strong or continually improving Human Rights Campaign Corporate Equality Index scores. The Board reserves the right to make decisions on individual sponsors based on their mission and actions, as well as feedback from our community.
