Become a Sponsor - Mid-Missouri PrideFest

Becoming a Sponsor/Vendor

Hosting an event for approximately 10,000 attendees is a significant financial undertaking. It is the generous contributions from individuals and businesses within our community that make this possible.

Why pride matters

Pride festivals play a crucial role in our community. They offer us a chance to celebrate our identities and what makes us unique. More importantly, they provide an opportunity for the community to support their LGBTQIA+ neighbors, friends, employees, and customers.

Why bring your business to PrideFest?
Leading businesses recognize that fostering inclusive environments is not just the right thing to do—it’s also good for business. Connecting with the LGBTQIA+ community and their allies, who wield considerable spending power, benefits the bottom line. Sponsorship support enables us to continue our mission to:

Unify, inform, support, and mobilize community members and allies
Build community through communication, education, and advocacy
Advocate for equal rights under Missouri law
Provide a safe space for discussion and problem-solving
Organize impactful events
