Donate - every dollar raised helps.

Sponsoring - you can become a sponsor and we will advertise your sponsorship on our social media pages, website, and at the event itself. Visit https://chicagopaganpride.org/sponsorships/ for more details

Buy merchandise - did you know we have GCPP branded merchandise? Well, we do and its available on our website! https://chicagopaganpride.org/sponsorships/

Non-monetary/In-Kind Donations - Do you have a place of business that we can use to host fundraising events? Do you have goods or services you can offer for fundraising? All of this helps! Email us at [email protected] and let us know.

Vending - large portion of the costs are paid for by our vending fees. We are still accepting vending applications. Visit https://chicagopaganpride.org/get-involved/ for more details. (Deadline Aug 28th)
