INDY PRIDE 500
Join the Race:
Start your engines—Indy Pride is racing toward 2027, and we want you on the track with us!
The Indy Pride 500 is a bold, community-powered fundraising campaign inspired by the city we call home. Our goal is simple: 500 businesses, organizations, and individuals contributing $500 each to collectively raise $250,000 in support of Indy Pride's year-round programs, events, advocacy efforts, and community initiatives.
Here's the exciting part: your $500 doesn't just make an impact—it becomes part of what could be the largest single community-funded sponsorship in Indy Pride's 30+ year history. Together, the Indy Pride 500 has the potential to become the Presenting Sponsor of Indy Pride Festival 2027, proving that when a community invests together, incredible things happen.
What's Included?
For just $500, you'll receive visibility and benefits typically reserved for much larger sponsorship levels, including:
🏁 Recognition on the official Indy Pride 500 webpage
🏁 An exclusive Indy Pride 500 8" x 8" window cling
🏁 Two Indy Pride 500 holographic stickers
🏁 Recognition throughout Festival Weekend
🏁 Main Stage and Community Stage Banners
🏁 Wayfinding and event recognition opportunities
🏁 Corporate-level visibility at a fraction of the cost
🏁 Participants receive early access to re-secure their spot for the following year
Founding Member Advantage
Those who join the Indy Pride 500 before December 31, 2026 will be recognized and memorialized as Founding Members of the campaign, creating a lasting legacy and placing a mark in Indy Pride’s history.
This isn't just a sponsorship. It's a statement.
It's a chance for small businesses, nonprofits, community groups, and individuals to stand shoulder-to-shoulder and demonstrate that supporting LGBTQ+ visibility, belonging, and equality doesn't require a five-figure investment.
It just requires showing up.
500 participants. $250,000 raised. One community.
Fuel Our Future. Drive Pride Forward.
