RRP Grant Program - 2025 Application

About Russian River Pride

Russian River Pride is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization composed of volunteer community members working together to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community and inclusively support community organizations in West Sonoma County, California. We believe in a community where people of all identities can feel supported, celebrated, and at home.

We are proud to support the lower Russian River community by giving back through our Grant Program. We encourage the following 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations to apply for a grant of up to $5,000:

  • Charitable groups and civic-minded organizations that receive little government or mainstream funding.
  • Projects that promote wellness and diversity.
  • Projects that support lower Russian River communities.

Please note: We do not approve grant requests for overhead, salaries, honorariums, personal or travel expenses, or requests from outside of the Lower Russian River area.

2025 Application and Award Process

The Russian River Pride Grant Program is managed by the Russian River Pride Board of Directors. Please note that we receive many requests and there are no guarantees your application will be approved.
