The San Mateo County Pride Center is losing 90% of its funding on July 1, 2026.

The San Mateo County Pride Center—the only LGBTQ+-focused provider serving the entire county—is facing a devastating funding crisis.

For many LGBTQ+ residents – especially Transgender and Nonbinary individuals, and community members who are People of Color – we are the only safe and affirming place to turn.

Last year alone, we served 15,544 individuals across our county.

We are urgently seeking:

• • Emergency Financial Support. Bridge funding and direct contributions to help sustain immediate operations and protect continuity of care.

  • Foundation and Institutional Partnerships. Early investment to help stabilize services and catalyze broader long-term support.

  • Government Partnership. Collaboration in identifying sustainable funding pathways and preserving essential community infrastructure.

  • Community Connections. Introductions to philanthropic partners, sponsors, and aligned networks.

  • Physical Space. Access to low- or no-cost office, clinical, and community programming space.

This is a defining moment for our community.

With your support, we can protect these life-saving services and ensure
LGBTQ+ residents continue to have a safe place to turn.
