Ways to Support the Capital Pride Alliance and the Pride365 Fund

Will I receive a receipt?  

Yes, you will receive an email receipt for your online donations, or a letter in the mail if we don’t have your email for checks, ACH and stock. If you made a donation a while ago and still don’t have a receipt, contact us at [email protected] 

Is my donation tax deductible?  

Capital Pride Alliance is a 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization and your donation is tax-deductible within the guidelines of U.S. law. Keep your email donation receipt as your official record. Our EIN number is: 26-1763254. 

Can I dedicate my donation to someone?  

Yes! To dedicate your donation in honor or memory of a loved one, colleague, or friend, click Add a Dedication located under One Time and Monthly on the donation page. The first and last name of your honoree are required fields. You will also have the option to input contact information and a message to the recipient, which will be automatically sent upon completion of your transaction. 

What are the fees associated with my donation?  

Credit card transaction fees vary between 4-5%, If you are looking to avoid processing fees, consider giving via a Donor Advised Fund. 

Is my donation secure?  

Yes. The security and confidentiality of your information is our highest priority. We use industry-standard SSL (secure socket layer) technology to protect your information and provide a safe and secure environment for online donations. We will not sell, trade or share your personal information with anyone else, nor send donor mailings on behalf of other organizations, and we will only share personal information if you have given us specific permission to do so. 

What does my donation support?  

Your donation goes directly to where it’s needed most — powering the year-round work that keeps Pride visible, vibrant, and impactful in the nation’s capital. Contributions support the full mission of the Capital Pride Alliance, including community programs, educational initiatives, safety and accessibility measures, volunteer coordination, and the planning and production of major Pride events attended by hundreds of thousands of people. 

Your gift also strengthens vital partnerships with local LGBTQ+ organizations, helps amplify underrepresented voices, and ensures that our festivals, parades, and gatherings remain safe, inclusive, and welcoming for all. From operational needs to advocacy efforts to creating meaningful spaces for celebration and protest, every donation fuels the ongoing movement for equality in Washington, DC. 

In short: your support sustains Pride not just in June — but every day of the year, helping us build a stronger, more connected, and more resilient LGBTQ+ community.
