Overview
Mission
The new haven pride center is a community focused organization co-creating a space to empower greater new haven lgbtqia+ individuals to not just survive but thrive and uplift each other and our voices. We do this by providing essential case management, support, educational and cultural programming that stands at the intersection of advocacy, arts, and community. We champion collective impact through collaboration with other statewide and regional organizations. Our programs and services include: community food pantry, clothing closet, hygiene wall, support groups for youth and adults, community gathering space, educational and enrichment programs, advocacy, art exhibits, performance events, new haven pride event, youth mentoring program, and more
What it reported doing in 2024
Expansion to new office space - with increased square footage, we enhanced our food pantry, expanded our community closet, and gathering places for community programming. Our main annual event, pride new haven, continues to grow in attendance and donations. Pride new haven earned 13,000 in sponsorships in 2024 - launch of 'pride in balance' event, the first lgbtqia+ wellness event in Connecticut. This event earned 4,000 in sponsorships. These contributions went towards the expansion of our support services.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- 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
SUPPORTED - 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 program spending has declined or grown slowly.
