Gay Lesbian Bisexual Transgendered Pride Centre of Edmonton

Celebrating GLBTQ people, their families and friends!

Pride Centre Fundraising

The Pride Centre of Edmonton needs your help!

We are in desperate need of your financial support. The Pride Centre is open to everyone, including lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and questioning (LGBTQ) people, and straight-indentifying individuals who are supportive of the LGBTQ community. We provide a non-judgmental, safe space where people can be themselves, find support, meet new people and be part of a community. We provide services for everyone and we need everyone's help to keep our doors open.  We do not profit from anything we offer but it costs us over $200 per day to stay up and running.  These funds come mainly from the generosity of our community.

Rent                   $1,600.00

Phone                 $   250.00

Electrical            $   350.00

Gas                    $   100.00

Salaries             $4,000.00

Cable                  $     70.00

 

Total                   $6,370.00

 

Without your support the Centre faces the possibility of closing its doors and that would be a huge loss to the community, the city and the province.

 

Let's show our community pride and keep our Pride Centre open so we can continue to offer the safe space and vital services our community needs.

 

Donations can be made to specific projects or to the general operations of the Centre and Building.  Donations can also be made in memory of a loved one to show your love and support.

There are several ways to donate:

 

 

Why Should I donate to the Pride Centre?

There are many good reasons.  The Pride Centre of Edmonton provides space for community groups to meet. We seek to create an environment where all members of the LGBTQ community can visit to feel safe and welcome.  We also seek to provide links between individuals and community organizations through resource referrals and  support programs.  Another objective is to provide access to a library that contains a comprehensive selection of volumes for the LGBTQ community.  We also seek to organize and support activities such as support groups, social events, and educational seminars, that improve the quality of social, mental, and physical health of our community.

As you know, running any public service agency requires dedicated volunteers, leaders, and of course donations from community members of both ideas and money.  In order to help us achieve and address these goals, we do need financial support.  Funding is needed to undertake such projects as publicizing information about our centre to the community, providing support to new members and youth, and maintaining the space that houses our meeting space and library.

 

Thank you for your generous support!
