How it works:

• The Brooklyn Pride Inc. Volunteer Grant is funded by net profits from our Brooklyn Pride LGBTQIA+ 5K Run registration fees.

• Organizations, who qualify for non-profit status under IRS Code, are encouraged to apply for grant funding.

• Applications for funding to support a program or event that welcomes or celebrates the LGBTQIA+ community will be reviewed by the Brooklyn Pride LGBTQIA+ Race Directors.

• If selected, the organization will agree to provide 5 volunteers for our 5K Run to receive up to a $1,000 grant.

• A check for grant funding will be presented to your organization at the Brooklyn Pride Volunteer Thank You Celebration, held in mid-July.
