Pride Foundation
Advancing equity and justice for LGBTQ+ communities across the Northwest.
Who we are
Pride Foundation, established in 1985 and headquartered in Seattle, Washington, is the only LGBTQ+ community foundation serving the Northwest region, including Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington.
Our mission is to fuel transformational movements to advance equity and justice for LGBTQ+ people in all communities across the Northwest. We have invested over $70 million in community change, grounded in the belief that every person should live safely, openly, and genuinely in all the places we call home.
What we do
Our work includes awarding scholarships, providing grants, and supporting community initiatives. Since 1993, we have awarded over $8.5 million in scholarships to over 2,400 LGBTQ+ student leaders. We also provide critical funding to grassroots organizations working to address the needs of LGBTQ+ people, particularly those most affected by systemic injustices. Through our CARE (Community Advocacy, Research, and Education) program, we engage in public education, advocacy, and support for community-led initiatives to foster a more just and equitable society.
Working at Pride Foundation
At Pride Foundation, we emphasize a work culture rooted in collective care, equity, and continuous learning. In 2020, we transitioned to a permanent four-day workweek, inspired by our commitment to disrupt traditional grind culture and prioritize rest and sustainable pacing. Our staff, based throughout the Northwest, works remotely and collaboratively. We value transparency, accountability, and the well-being of our team members, ensuring a supportive environment where everyone can thrive.
