What is a small business?

A small business is an independently owned operation that is not a franchise or chain. A small business, for the purpose of this program, does not exist in multiple locations and is not owned by a larger parent company.

How does it work?

By signing a pledge form, the small business agrees to raise $1,500 or more for the Atlanta Pride Committee before Pride weekend. This can be done in a variety of ways to be determined by the business owner and approved by APC. In return, APC will promote the fundraising events happening at the business via the APC website, newsletter, and other advertising.

Is this a sponsorship?

While this is not a sponsorship, it is a partnership that provides marketing opportunity for the business and allows donating to Pride to become fun and affordable. Corporate Sponsors pay a minimum of $5,000 for extensive branding opportunities directly associated with the festival (park signage, publications, banner display rights, naming rights, national and regional advertising, etc.).
