CAPITAL PRIDE ALLIANCE:
CELEBRATING, EDUCATING, AND ADVOCATING FOR LGBTQ+ COMMUNITIES
The Capital Pride Alliance serves as a vital steward of LGBTQ+ pride and advocacy in Washington, DC and the National Capital Region through year-round programming that celebrates diversity, preserves history, and advances equality. As a nonprofit organization deeply rooted in the community, CPA creates platforms for visibility and connection while supporting the essential work of local LGBTQ+ organizations and businesses.
Beyond producing signature pride events, the Alliance maintains a comprehensive approach to community building through educational initiatives, fundraising, outreach, and advocacy efforts that respond to evolving needs. This multifaceted work strengthens the infrastructure of support for LGBTQ+ individuals across the region while protecting hard-won rights for current and future generations.
Recognizing that DC's LGBTQ+ history extends far beyond the first official pride celebrations, the Alliance honors the rich legacy of queer presence in the nation's capital since the city's founding. Through intentional programming and historical preservation, CPA connects today's advocacy to decades of community organizing and resistance, creating continuity in the ongoing journey toward full equality and inclusion.
