Sponsorship Opportunities
Welcome to the Elk Valley Pride Society sponsorship opportunity page!
The Elk Valley Pride Society not only celebrates the 2SLGBTQ+ community but also works tirelessly to foster an environment of acceptance, love, and unity. Our events, whether it’s the Pride Festival, Rainbow Connections social events, impactful community events throughout the year, or training opportunities, touch countless lives, spreading a message of inclusivity and hope.
Core operating expenses for Fernie Pride Society are approximately $30,000 per year. That covers things like insurance, our membership in Fierte Canada Pride, part-time administrator wages and meeting costs.
Fernie Pride’s goal is to reach $30,000 per year in non-grant revenue sources. That means from donations, donations in kind, fundraising, memberships, event participation fees, merchandise sales, training program fees, etc. Your help achieving this ensures the long-term viability of the organization.
