Our Mission

Jackson Pride aims to bring awareness and understanding of the LGBTQIA community to Jackson, Tennessee through community involvement, projects, events, and educational resources. Jackson Pride celebrates diversity and provides support to the LGBTQIA community and its allies.

 

About Jackson Pride

Jackson Pride is a fund of the Community Foundation of West Tennessee serving the LGBTQIA community of Jackson, Tennessee and surrounding counties. Thanks to contributions from members of the community, Jackson Pride is able to host events such as the annual festival, as well as provide resources and support for those of the LGBTQIA community. We are funded by private donors without whom we would be unable to provide support for those in our region. Thanks to these contributions from members and allies, we are able to bring awareness and support to people in new and exciting ways.

Future Goals

Thanks to ongoing support from the community, Jackson Pride has launched its scholarship program to support LGBTQIA+ students of all ages and secondary educational paths.
