Join our mailing list and stay up to date with the progress and opportunities at the Victorian Pride Centre
With the end of construction nearly here, we’re ready to start fitting the centre out with all the bits ‘n’ bobs our community needs in the common spaces of the Pride Centre. You know, furniture, plants, bike repair stations, AV equipment, artwork hanging systems and theatre chairs…We have a long list of items for our new home that we’d love your support to provide so that the Pride Centre can be fully operational and looking swish when it opens later in 2020.
We know these are challenging times for many, but If you’re in a position to contribute, purchase or start a Giving Circle for any Pride Registry items we would greatly appreciate your support as we set up Australia’s first purpose built LGBTIQ Centre. If you are not able to financially support at this stage, we’d love you to spread the word with loved ones and mates who may be able to. If you, or your organisation, has suitable items to donate that match any of the Pride Registry items please get in touch contact@pridecentre.org.au .
Pride Giving Circles are groups of people, friends and/or associates, who organise amongst themselves, either through fundraising or member donations, to raise funds for a target goal. That goal could be naming rights of a space in the Centre or funding the purchase of a much needed item on the Pride Registry. Your Giving Circle can create a name to celebrate your group and identify themselves in the Pride Centre acknowledgements.
All donations are tax deductible. Your generosity will be acknowledged on our website. Donations of $5,000 and over will be acknowledged on our Honour Board within the Pride Centre. Where an item of $9000 and above has been supported fully by you or your Giving Circle, your name or your group’s name will be, where feasibly possible, declared on a plaque on or near the item you have supported.*
