Select the type of leader you are to explore ways to get involved, give back, and grow our impact together.
Community Members
The 7K Acts of Love Campaign is a call for 7,000 people to each make a small donation to support Pride South Side and its mission to invest in the Southside of Chicago. Every dollar helps fund inclusive community events, support local talent, and drive entrepreneurship development through resources and opportunities for emerging business owners. It’s more than a donation — it’s an act of love that says the Southside matters. Join us in building a stronger, more vibrant community, one small gift at a time.
Community Businesses
Pride South Side offers sponsorship opportunities for responsible businesses looking to invest in community, culture, and economic growth on Chicago’s Southside. Sponsorship supports inclusive events, local entrepreneurship, and cultural programming while aligning your brand with values of local and impact. Customizable packages provide meaningful exposure and community connection. Join us in building something lasting — together.
