Mission
Indy Pride creates spaces for connection, celebration, and innovation, empowering LGBTQ+ individuals to flourish and ignite positive change. Rooted in inclusivity and fueled by the joy of our community, we champion equality, cultivate belonging, and inspire a more vibrant and liberated future. Indy Pride calls queer joy home.
Key Services
Indy Pride creates accessible spaces for every LGBTQIA+ person across Central Indiana to be seen, celebrated, and connected through year-round programming and community events. Every year, more than 100,000 people in our community experience those spaces at our career and resource fair, community pride nights, book club, festival and parade weekend, Pride 5k, seasonal celebrations, and more.
Our programming is built on these foundational pillars:
Education & Empowerment: Pride as empowerment—access to tools, knowledge and opportunity.
Health & Wellness: Pride as care, safety, and access—not just celebration.
Family & Youth: Pride as bridge between generations—safety, affirmation, and future-belonging.
Community & Belonging: Pride as a place people belong, not just attend.
Celebration & Joy: Pride at scale: visibility, representation, and collective joy.
