PRIDE 365
More than a season. A year-round commitment to visibility, inclusion, and connection.
Pride 365 is how Stonewall Columbus builds a stronger LGBTQ+ community across Central Ohio—through sustained investment, shared accountability, and engagement that lives beyond one weekend.
Pride 365 helps ensure the Community Center stays open, programs remain accessible, and our community can find belonging year-round—not only during Pride Month.
What Pride 365 Is
Pride 365 is Stonewall Columbus’ year-round framework for mobilizing community support—individuals, businesses, and partners—in ways that strengthen our mission every month of the year.
It aligns giving and engagement with the ways people actually show up for Stonewall: volunteering, attending programs, building inclusive workplaces, sponsoring Pride, shopping Pride Tags, and supporting the Center as a welcoming third space.
What Pride 365 asks of partners
- Year-round investment (not one-time transactional sponsorship).
- Shared accountability (including alignment with Stonewall’s inclusion commitments).
- Real engagement (volunteerism + connection to community).
Stonewall’s Pride 365 engagement grid also includes a volunteer-time expectation and requires partners to affirm DEI-related commitments. (See the current grid linked below.)
How Pride 365 Works
1) Invest in the mission
Donations and commitments power what happens at the Center and across Central Ohio—programs, learning opportunities, community connection, and support pathways.
2) Engage with community
Pride 365 is designed to make engagement easy: volunteer opportunities, events and classes, and Pride Month touchpoints that connect people to the Center.
3) Show up with accountability
We want partnerships that reflect the values our community expects: inclusion, respect, and active participation—not just visibility.
- Align with Stonewall Columbus’ expectations for inclusion and equity.
- Support the Center as a safe, welcoming community space.
- Participate beyond logos—through learning and volunteering.
4) Celebrate Pride—grounded in year-round support
Pride Month is a powerful expression of community visibility. Pride 365 ensures Pride is supported by a deeper, ongoing relationship with the organization and the people we serve.
