We make music.
You can make a difference.
Your support keeps the music playing for Central Ohio’s LGBTQ+ and ally community.
Give Today
We use Zeffy because they are the only platform that gives 100% of your donation to us by not charging transaction or processing fees. To keep their service free for nonprofits like ours, they give donors the option to add a small "tip" to their platform. This is entirely voluntary, you can select "Other" and enter $0 if you prefer.
Other ways to support
Thank you!
We are so grateful for your interest in supporting the future of Columbus Pride Bands!
As a non-profit, we rely on grants, donations, and the unwavering support of our community to keep our ensembles performing.
Whether it’s a one-time gift or a monthly contribution, your generosity ensures the song never ends.
We can’t do what we do without donors like YOU!
How your gift helps
Here are just a few ways your charitable donation helps us maintain and grow our organization:
-
Gifts starting at just $20 allow us to offer scholarships for membership dues and uniform costs. This ensures that a musician’s seat in the band is determined by their passion, not their bank account.
-
One of the most tangible parts of our program is the music you hear. A single piece for a full concert band typically ranges from $50 to $150. Your contribution helps put new music in our folders.
-
Not every musician owns their own equipment. By keeping our inventory of wind and percussion instruments in peak condition, we ensure that "loaner" instruments are always available for those who need them.
We are excited and grateful to share that 3 new sousaphones will be available this year thanks to generous support from donors like you.
-
Our ensembles strive for a high caliber of musicality that reflects the immense talent of our musicians and artistic leadership. Your support ensures that our staff has the resources needed to lead us toward excellence and helps us secure performance spaces with the acoustics necessary to do justice to our collective sound.
-
Each year, our Governing Board balances our creative dreams against our financial reality. Every dollar donated represents "one more line item" we can move from the wish list to the stage.
