Pride in Action: Support Pride & Diversity

We’re calling on our partners, family, and friends to rally their networks in support of The Gala Pride & Diversity Center. By becoming a fundraiser for Pride in Action, you’ll directly impact the LGBTQIA+ community in San Luis Obispo County—and your friends will feel great about joining the cause.

Why Join Pride in Action?

  • Simple & Rewarding: Starting a fundraiser is easy and fun. We’ll provide all the tools you need to make a real difference.
  • Real Impact: Your efforts will help us continue our mission to Support and Empower people of all sexual orientations, gender identities, and expressions, strengthening and uniting the Central Coast community.

Our Legacy:

  • Founded in 1994: Originally known as GALA (Gay and Lesbian Alliance), The Gala Pride & Diversity Center has been a cornerstone for the LGBTQIA2S+ community for 30 years.
  • Pride in SLO: In 1996, we established the first Pride Center in SLO County, and in 1997, we held our inaugural Pride celebration, Pride in the Plaza.
  • Growth & Impact: Over three decades, we’ve expanded our reach with peer and professional-led groups, youth activities, social opportunities, and more.

Our Vision for the Future:

  • Central Coast Pride: In 2024, we restructured SLO Pride to Central Coast Pride to be more inclusive and far-reaching. This year, we had our most impactful Pride season yet, with new community partnerships like Pride by the Sea (Cambria), Atascadero Pride (the first-ever full-day, all-ages Pride event in the area), and Queerwood (Los Osos).
  • Volunteer Power: Hundreds of volunteers contributed countless hours of energy and support. And we’re just getting started!

Why Your Support Matters:

To keep this momentum going, we need your monetary donations and the energy you bring to fundraising. Your contributions are essential to the continued growth and empowerment of the LGBTQIA2S+ community in SLO County and beyond.

Take the Challenge:

  • Start a Fundraiser: Set a goal of raising $1,000 or more - It’s easy, and you’ll have all the tools you need.
  • Nominate a Friend: Ask your friends to join the challenge, spread the word and help us amplify our impact.

Become a Donor:

  • One-time Donation: Provide a one-time donation to any of our individual fundraisers or the GALA directly.
  • Recurring Donation: Become a regular donor/sponsor of The GALA Pride & Diversity Center to support our community year round.
  • In Kind-Donations: Would you rather provide goods or services? Provide in-kind donations for raffles, events, and fundraising prizes.

Together, we can ensure that The Gala Pride & Diversity Center continues to be a beacon of support and empowerment for our community.
