About Capital Pride Alliance The Capital Pride Alliance, located in the District of Columbia (DC), is a nonprofit organization dedicated to serving the needs of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and allied (LGBTQ+) communities through educational events, entertainment, community outreach, and celebrations of diversity. The Capital Pride Alliance annually produces Capital Trans Pride and the signature Pride Celebration in the nation’s capital, one of the largest Pride events in the country, along with a variety of educational and community events throughout the year. The Capital Pride Alliance fulfills its mission primarily through a volunteer team serving on the Board of Directors, the Production Team, or as one of over 300 on-site volunteers with support from a small staff.
Capital Pride Amid a Pandemic The Capital Pride Alliance is in the midst of a new chapter. Traditionally, Pride events have created a platform for the LGBTQ+ community to gather and proudly celebrate LGBTQ+ people, history, and culture in a visible way. Due to the ongoing pandemic, the Capital Pride Alliance was not able to celebrate a traditional in-person Pride in June 2020 or in June 2021. However, the Capital Pride Alliance is actively working to create unique and inspiring opportunities in place of the usual festivities. The Capital Pride Alliance remains committed to celebrating the LGBTQ+ community by organizing and supporting Pride events that ignite connections and provide visibility for critical issues, build on existing and new partnerships in order to maximize the community’s resources, and develop new and accessible programming.
