Donate to Bluegrass Pride

We’ve got ambitious plans for 2021 and even bigger dreams for the future of bluegrass, old-time, and string band music in the U.S. and around the world.

Excited to get involved, but aren’t LGBTQ+ yourself?

Loving our online content, but hoping for local chapter activities in your area once it's safe again?

Looking to discover and support diverse roots musicians during an unprecedented global crisis, but not sure where to look or how to start?

This is why your generosity is so integral to our success. As Bluegrass Pride expands -- in San Francisco, Portland, Nashville, Raleigh, and beyond -- we rely more and more on donations and generous gifts from our community members and volunteers to facilitate that growth. In 2020, we brought you the first ever Porch Pride weekend festival, which raised over $22,000 for roots musicians during the COVID-19 pandemic. We launched the new Monthly Musician Showcase series, highlighting diverse artists and creators working within the world of traditional American music in relaxed and friendly conversations about their work. And we continued establishing ourselves as leaders and pioneers in the world of roots music -- with event organizers, industry associations, and more seeking our expertise in creating safe, inclusive spaces during a tumultuous time.

We plan to do even more in 2021, and we'll need your help to do so! Your recurring donation means we have funds we can count on not just in the present, but in the future, as we organize more performance opportunities, create new artist and audience resources to get us through COVID and beyond, and launch new opportunities to get involved with Bluegrass Pride and the work we do.
