Become a Sponsor of Alton Pride
Your generous support helps us fulfill our mission, produce fun events, and lend a hand to our neigh
In 2024, Alton Pride made a lasting impact on the Riverbend community through our events, high school scholarship program, and Thanksgiving Food Drive. In addition to our annual Festival, which draws hundreds to historic downtown Alton, we host regular community events and participate in the City's Halloween parade.
Like many Pride organizations across the country, we are facing a shortfall in our fundraising efforts this year. Every little bit helps!
Sponsorships start at $100
We offer several levels of sponsorship, or we can create a custom package tailored to meet your specific needs. Alton Pride is a 501c3 organization.
Sponsorships must be finalized by July 15, 2025 to be included in Festival Print Materials.
