What Come Out With Pride Inc does

Come Out With Pride, Inc. is a Florida-incorporated 501c3 nonprofit organization (Tax ID 26-4696702) headquartered at 424 E Central Blvd, Suite 415, Orlando, FL 32801. Its functional purpose is to produce Orlando's annual LGBTQIA+ Pride celebration each October at Lake Eola Park, timed around National Coming Out Day, and to operate year-round programming that supports LGBTQIA+ individuals and allies across Central Florida. In 2025 the flagship festival attracted more than 230,000 attendees and 250+ participating organizations, making it the largest single-day event in Central Florida and one of the largest Pride celebrations in the Southeast United States.

The organization's product surface is organized around the annual Pride Parade & Festival (parade, Marketplace, SponsorWalk, live performances, fireworks) and a portfolio of year-round programs branded as Pride 365, including Pride Prom, the Trans & Non-Binary Task Force, the Colors of Courage Collective, and the Seat at the Table virtual conversation series, plus a Marketplace & Vendor Program for the annual festival. The underlying technology stack is a thin set of off-the-shelf SaaS platforms: Eventeny handles VIP ticketing, vendor applications, parade participant registration, and year-round event coordination; SimpleBooklet distributes the 2026 corporate sponsorship partnership packet; Mailchimp powers email communications to volunteers and community members; and WordPress hosts the corporate website at comeoutwithpride.org. The Come Out With Pride logo and name are registered trademarks held by the nonprofit.

Revenue is generated through four streams: corporate and organizational sponsorships (multi-tier partnership packages), vendor fees from marketplace makers, creatives, food vendors, and parade participants, VIP and general admission ticket sales transacted through Eventeny, and tax-deductible individual donations processed via the organization's website. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; vendor and participant fees are quote-based with early-bird discounting. The go-to-market motion is community-led and event-driven, leveraging social media (Instagram and a 41,934+ Facebook following), email, the website, and year-round community partnerships such as Ice Cream for a Cause with Jeni's and Rainbow Raptors with the Audubon Center for Birds of Prey. The organization is governed by a board of directors, with no parent company, institutional investors, or subsidiaries disclosed in the available material.
