Pride With A Purpose!

Our mission is to provide FREE events for the ENTIRE LGBTQ community and our allies, something we have done since our inception in 2012. This year we are expanding our Pride offerings in 2018 based on community feedback. We support and encourage every- one to support all local Pride events. Having a variety of events by various hosts can only make us a stronger community. At the same time, our conversations with community members suggest that events held in bars or hosted by straight businesses may not appeal to everyone. We intend to host a series of community/family friendly Pride events where all feel welcome, and where no one has to "pay to play."

Siouxland Pride Alliance is an Iowa non-profit organization. Our fiscal agent is Siouxland Human Investment Partnership, a local 501(c)(3) organization. Should you ever donate money to us, you can be assured that your momey will be used wisely and appropriately.
