What it reported doing in 2025

2025 Shenandoah Valley Pride Festival brought together our local community to celebrate everyone exactly how they were made to be. We estimated over 3000 people attended to shop, be entertained, and gather together to learn more about our community and the organizations available to support them. New this year was a community health fair which included over 21 non profit organizations sharing services information. We also raised $5120 during our fundraiser pageant which provides funds to operate our festival. $1000 was provided to Rhinestone Productions to help cover the rental fee for their Miss Gay Harrisonburg pageant.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 80% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 96% 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
