Why is Pride Link Important?

Living in Upstate, South Carolina as an LGBTQ+ person is not easy. You know that because you experience that every day. Pride Link is here because many LGBTQ+ people in Upstate, SC are still not able to live the happy, safe, and successful lives they deserve. As a nonprofit, Pride Link relies on donations in order to continue to serve its purpose in Upstate South Carolina.

Pride Link is expanding in three ways: Relocating, opportunities for employees and staff, and program initiatives. As a nonprofit, donations are essential to ensuring we can continue to serve our purpose in the community. Part of our Give Out Day donations will be dedicated to helping us get comfortable in our new building. It will go towards things like move-in costs, furniture, and more. Why do we need a new building? Because we would like to expand our staff! We need more people on our team so we can better serve the LGBTQ+ community of Upstate, SC. Donations made to Operation: Expansion will help go towards Staff’s salaries, professional development, and more! In addition to these expansions, we also want to be able to grow our Programming! One of the programs that we will be expanding is our financial assistance program. We already have great programs in place such as our Youth Group and BIPOC Group, but we want to do more! Soon, Pride Link will be introducing our Elder’s Group and Young Adult Group. Donations allow us to cover costs of things like snacks and activities used during group meetings!
