InterPride is the international organization that advances the Pride movement by coordinating with global partners that share our values.
We are uniquely suited to carry out our work because InterPride:
- Works with and supports the visibility and development of Pride networks around the world, thereby contributing to the presence and influence of Pride efforts at regional and local levels.
- Gathers regional Pride platforms dedicated to producing Pride events for diverse global SOGIESC (Sexual Orientations, Gender Identities and Expressions, and Sex Characteristics) communities to learn and grow with each other.
- Manages, supports, and awards WorldPride™, global grant programs, and related initiatives. In 1982, the National Association of Lesbian and Gay Pride Coordinators was formed in Boston, USA, with an initial membership of six USA Pride organizers. Over time membership has grown to include Pride organizers around the world, becoming InterPride in 1999. In 2021, membership totaled over 300 organizations from more than 60 countries. This growth has been matched by increasing diversity of membership. Since 2015, non-North American members have grown from 21% to 49%. This trend primarily reflects increased participation from Oceania and Global South (Africa, Asia, and South America).
The Pride movement continues to evolve. Pride has gained a presence in locations where it was previously absent or under-developed. There has also been significant growth in structures that gather Pride organizers together at a national or international level (known as Pride Platforms). This trend has created opportunities for InterPride to identify ways to better leverage regional knowledge to advance the rights of SOGIESC communities.

Solidarity With The Global Pride Movement
One of InterPride's Human Rights Committee's goals is to distribute money raised from our members and sponsors to organizations striving to make a difference and promote a better understanding of LGBTI+ people. Specifically, the Solidarity Fund Sub-Committee funds community-based events worldwide, with a focus on the global south and east, where public LGBTI+ activities are often discriminated against. InterPride is creating the world's largest self-sustaining fund for LGBTI+ equality, inspired by the audacious ambition of the Pride movements. We combine equity-lens investing, daring grassroots fundraising, and robust multi-sector philanthropy to unleash substantial resources for Pride organizers throughout the world through our Solidarity Fund. Since its beginning in 2013, monies have been awarded to support the staging of an LGBTI+ film festival, a large-scale LGBTI+ wedding, and the first public Pride festivities in Jinja, Uganda, and Nassau, The Bahamas. Our community needs you to join in the fight for global LGBTI+ equality. Invest in our community today, and together, we will achieve a more equitable future. About Solidarity Fund Donations
The Solidarity Fund is supported through the generous donations of individuals and organizations, in particular, many Pride organizations that are part of InterPride and make generous annual contributions to the fund. If you’d like to assist those struggling in regions that are hostile or challenging for LGBTI+ organizers, please donate to the Solidarity Fund by clicking here. On behalf of all the groups we are funding around the world, we thank you for your support.
