Overview

Mission

Campus Pride serves LGBTQ and ally student leaders and campus organizations in the areas of leadership development, support programs and services to create safer, more inclusive LGBTQ-friendly colleges and universities.

What it reported doing in 2022

Student Leader Network: Campus Pride serves over 1400 college campuses and155,000 plus student leaders and 3600 facutly/staff who are supported with social justice education, leadership programs, resources and services to create safer, more inclusive learning environments for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning and straight ally students. The Student Leader Network includes expenses related to non-Signature programs, services and resources that support leadership development, campus organizing, student activism and advocacy. These include the new Social Justice Mini Grants for Activism, HBCU Commision, the LGBTQ+ Scholarship Database, Queer 411 Bulletin Board, Campus Pride Map for Student Organizing, the HBCU LGBTQ+ Database, Trans Policy Clearinghouse, Best of the Best List, Worst List, Speakers Bureau as well as other branded social media platforms and CampusPride.org resources. Much of the student leader network of Campus Pride works within Southern campuses, rural communities as well as other under-resourced campuses (including two year colleges, HBCUs, religious campuses, etc).

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 65% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
