We Need Your Help to Secure the Future of the Pride Center
As you might know, we must vacate our current location by April 30th.
The Pride Community Center of North Central Florida hosts a wide range of programs and events for the LGBTQ+ community, but we urgently need financial support to continue and secure a new home. Please donate, share our story, and help us transition so we can keep serving our community.
Gainesville Pride is 25 years old this year!
Since 2001, we have collaborated with the City of Gainesville, Visit Gainesville / Alachua County, the Gainesville Community Reinvestment Area, and countless local businesses and organizations to organize the Pride Festival: a celebration of our identities, spirit, individuality, and queerness. The 2025 Pride Festival was one of the most amazing sights to see—families, friends, kids, parents, EVERYONE laughing, dancing, and having a great time. If you missed it, don’t worry: every year gets better and better. 😎
Our Mission
The mission of the Pride Community Center of North Central Florida is to foster and enhance the well-being and visibility of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) people and people of other gender and sexual minorities, and to promote public understanding and affirmation of people of all gender expressions and sexual orientations, inclusive of race, ethnic background, nationality, economic stability, spirituality, age, and ability.
We celebrate our differences
Recognizing the importance of intersectionality, we work with other marginalized groups for social justice. We are committed to providing education and resources in an open and supportive environment to eliminate prejudice and discrimination in our neighborhoods and community.
