View Sponsorship Opportunities

The Ottawa Family Pride Festival is a huge success in part because of sponsorships from companies and individuals alike.

Their generous support enables us to expand festival programming and make events more accessible, ensures our volunteers have the resources they need to get the job done, and help us move forward with our Mission!

We Are Building a Home!

Our fundraising will always include Youth Outlook Drop-in Center in Ottawa, but we are expanding our reach and are raising the money to build a Community Center right here in Ottawa! A safe space for the LGBTQ+ Community to pop in year-round, and find resources and opportunities. Check out some of what we have planned!

If you, or someone you know, is interested in becoming an investor or donor for our Community Center Project, please contact Dylan at ottawafamilypridefest@gmail.com.
