Sponsor Oakland Pride
Sponsorships play a vital role in bringing Oakland Pride to life, providing the funding needed for stages, performers, safety, and accessible community spaces. They help keep our event low-cost, ensuring that Pride remains open and inclusive for everyone. Beyond funding, sponsors can amplify visibility and show meaningful support for the LGBTQ+ community when their involvement is authentic and community-centered.
