Philly Pride 365 is a year-round civic and cultural initiative advancing LGBTQIA+ visibility, equity, and economic empowerment throughout Philadelphia and the region. Founded to move Pride beyond a single weekend, the organization operates at the intersection of grassroots activism and institutional collaboration—producing large-scale public celebrations, civic forums, and strategic partnerships that strengthen both community voice and civic infrastructure.

Through signature activations such as the Philadelphia Pride March & Festival and OURfest: National Coming Out Day Festival, Philly Pride 365 creates high-impact platforms that drive cultural visibility, generate measurable economic activity for local businesses, and convene cross-sector leaders around equity and inclusion. The organization works intentionally with advocacy groups, small businesses, corporate partners, philanthropic institutions, and city agencies to ensure Pride is both a celebration and a catalyst—one that reinvests in community, builds sustainable systems, and expands access to opportunity.

As Philadelphia approaches its 250th anniversary, Philly Pride 365 positions LGBTQIA+ communities not as participants on the margins of democracy, but as architects of its future.


Mission Statement

Philly Pride 365 exists to advance LGBTQIA+ visibility, civic participation, and economic inclusion through year-round programming that mobilizes community, strengthens partnerships, and builds sustainable infrastructure for collective impact.

We believe Pride is both protest and possibility. By pairing cultural celebration with strategic investment, we create spaces where LGBTQIA+ communities are not only seen—but resourced, protected, and empowered to lead.
