Assistance Programs

At PrideX, our mission has always been to center the wellbeing and security of Black LGBTQ+ folks through our emergency relief services and other engaging programming. Due to insufficient funding, we are temporarily pausing our Emergency Assistance programs.

This decision has not been made lightly. We understand the impact this may have on the communities we serve, and we remain fully committed to our mission. We will continue focusing on securing the necessary resources to ensure we can resume our vital programs and continue the vital work we do in/with/for community.

Please note that while the corresponding applications to the following programs are still live, there is no definitive date and time for when financial assistance will be available. We will continue reaching out to people on a rolling basis, once our financial status is resolved. We appreciate your grace.

Warmly,

Mercedes, Executive Director & Founder
