Blue Ridge Proud will be the organization’s first direct appeal to the LGBTQ+ community and beyond for ongoing financial support. Much as other organizations invite individual donors, Blue Ridge Proud will give contributors a structured program to tangibly demonstrate support for the community, Blue Ridge Pride and the growing programs and initiatives we offer.
Donors will receive specific thank-you gifts based on their level of giving and those at the Contributor level and above will be listed on the individual donor pages of Blueridgepride.org unless they specifically opt out.
Donors may make a onetime contribution or establish an automated monthly giving plan that will be drafted in equal increments each month.
Blue Ridge Pride turned 25 last year and has come of age as a source for advocacy, celebration, education and service for our culturally rich and diverse LGBTQ+ community. We invite the community and our allies to invest in building and even stronger, more diverse and welcoming Western North Carolina.
