CR Pride Fest

CR Pride is a local nonprofit committed to celebrating, supporting, and advocating for LGBTQIA+ individuals and allies across Eastern Iowa. Our work extends far beyond one day in June. Through Pride Fest, the Pride Parade, education, and year-round programming, we create spaces where people feel seen, safe, and celebrated. Sponsorships directly fund these efforts. As a nonprofit, every dollar raised is reinvested into community programming, accessibility, safety, and outreach. Your support helps keep Pride events free or low-cost, amplifies local voices, and strengthens Cedar Rapids as a welcoming place to live and work. Our sponsorship tiers are designed to grow with your organization’s level of support. Each tier builds upon the last, increasing visibility, recognition, and engagement while aligning your brand with equity, inclusion, and community impact.
