About the application

The Prism Awards is the Grand Rapids Pride Center's annual celebration honoring the changemakers, advocates, volunteers, and organizations strengthening the West Michigan 2-SLGBTQ+ community. As our premier fundraising event, sponsorships help sustain our year-round programs and services while providing meaningful recognition for businesses and organizations committed to equity, inclusion, and community. Sponsorship benefits vary by level and may include logo placement, social media recognition, event signage, complimentary tickets, and other promotional opportunities.

 

We seek involvement from individuals, businesses, and organizations that affirm and support our message that the fight for equity, justice, and liberation for all 2-SLGBTQ+ people continues. While the Prism Awards is a celebration of our community's accomplishments, it is also a reminder that progress is made possible because of those who choose to lead, advocate, and serve. Together, we honor the changemakers whose work continues to move our community forward.
