Eligibility and Requirements
    The Community Partners Program is open to any non-profit organization based in the nine counties of the Bay Area whose mission involves service to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender communities, people living with HIV/AIDS or breast cancer, or positive outreach to the general public about these issues.
    All community partners must commit a minimum of 6 - 12 volunteers to working at the Pride event depending on the area for which the partner has been selected.  Volunteer numbers may vary by area so be sure to check with your area coordinator during pre-event trainings.
    It is a condition that all staff provided by community partners be volunteers and 100% of the funds received by the Community Partners Program be applied to their purposes as specified in the mission statement of their organization. Subject to that, the funds may be applied in whatever manner and towards projects and/or running costs as the partnering organization sees fit.
    An organization may indicate their preference with regard to being a beverage partner, a donations partner, and/or an accessibility partner when applying. While the San Francisco Pride Celebration Committee strives to accommodate indicated preferences, program capacity does not always permit us to meet these preferences in all instances.

Application
    The 2010 Community Partners application process will commence in February of 2010.  The program application is available online at:

sfpride.org/communitypartners

    The Pride Committee will review all completed applications by early April 2010, and will make a final decision on program selection. Once your organization is notified of the decision regarding your application, a final contract will be sent out to you, and you will be put in direct contact with the manager of the program for which your organization was chosen, whether Donations, Beverage, or Accessibility.
    Mandatory trainings exist for both the Donations and Beverages Programs so be sure to consult your area coordinator or email us at communitypartners [at] sfpride.org for more information.

Inquiries
    Please email us with any questions that you may have regarding the 2010 Community Partners Program.
