MOUNTAIN PRIDE WANTS YOU TO KNOW THAT YOU BELONG HERE
Mountain Pride is an organization inspired and driven to serve the needs of our LGBTQIA+ communities. Our Queer community has lived in communities with few or no resources for LGBTQIA+ people, forcing them to travel long distances to access the services and care they need. Not only that, but we’ve witnessed nationally and locally an unprecedented amount of negative rhetoric, stigma, and attacks targeting LGBTQIA+ people, specifically transgender and nonbinary individuals. This underscores the vital importance of our mission and the need for representation, visibility, and support, now more than ever.
Mountain Pride is devoted to strengthening and establishing supportive, safe spaces, enhancing family acceptance and understanding, and offering access to information, resources, and services.
As we continue to grow to meet the needs of our community, we need your support. We hope you will consider making a gift that is meaningful to you to ensure that our programs continue to stay free for participants. Whether $5 or $500, your donation will greatly impact our mission.
Together, we can show Eagle County and the Mountains of Colorado that WE BELONG HERE!
Our Mission is to continuously improve the lived experience of our LGBTQIA+ community. Our Vision is to embrace, strengthen, and celebrate the diversity of our LGBTQIA+ communities across the mountains of Colorado .
In 2020, Britny Rose, Eagle County Pride's - Pride in the Park inaugural organizer, inquired about Eagle County not having a pride festival. Within seven days of asking that question, she organized a successful pride festival attended by hundreds. This resulted in the formation of a "Pride Committee" comprised of Eagle County residents committed to growing and strengthening the LGBTQIA+ community and its allies in Eagle County. Eagle County Pride hosted a variety of social events, meet-and-greets, and self-care activities such as yoga and dancing classes. Resulting from the success of our outreach efforts and the desire to serve as a resource for the neighboring communities, our organization grew to serve not only the LGBTQIA+ communities in Eagle County but also the LGBTQIA+ communities throughout the mountains of Colorado, prompting us to change our name to Mountain Pride and seek 501(c)3 status.
