Overview

• Longtime corporate sponsors, including Comcast, Anheuser-Busch, Diageo, and La Crema, have withdrawn support for San Francisco Pride 2025, creating a $300,000 funding gap.
• The loss accounts for about one-third of the remaining $1.2 million fundraising goal needed to host the event's parties, concerts, and parade.
• Organizers believe the Trump administration's rollback of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives has influenced corporate decisions to reduce LGBTQ+ advocacy support.
• San Francisco Pride recently ended its partnership with Meta over the company's reduced DEI efforts and changes to content moderation policies.
• Despite financial challenges, the Pride celebration is confirmed for June 28-29, though the scale and programming remain uncertain as fundraising continues.
