In the heart of downtown Salt Lake City, a vision is taking shape—one built on pride, purpose, and possibility.

The Utah LGBTQ+ Chamber of Commerce and SafeZone Utah are building more than a destination; they are building a legacy. The Utah LGBTQ+ Visitors Center will be the first of its kind in our state—a bold, affirming space designed to uplift queer voices, empower LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs, celebrate our vibrant history, and welcome every visitor, newcomer, and ally who wants to experience the strength of Utah’s queer community.

But we can’t do it alone.

Through the Stride For Pride event, we are inviting you—our neighbors, businesses, friends, and community members—to help us take the next step toward opening the doors to this landmark project. Your participation and support will directly fund the creation of a 2,500 sq. ft. community hub featuring:

The Rainbow Retail Co-operative Market, supporting local LGBTQ+ artists and makers
The Queer Arts & History Gallery, honoring our past and spotlighting our culture creators
The All Are Welcome Reception Center, where visitors are greeted with joy and information
The Economic Empowerment Hub, a space to grow queer-owned businesses
The Safe Zone Central, providing vital education, training, and gathering space
And a Virtual Village App, connecting people from across the globe to Utah’s LGBTQ+ community

We believe that visibility is power, and that when you invest in queer spaces, you invest in a stronger, more inclusive future for all of Utah. The LGBTQ+ community has long contributed to Utah’s economic vitality, cultural richness, and resilience. Now, it’s time for a space that reflects and honors that truth every single day.

Stride with us. Show your pride. And help build a center that says: You belong here.

Together, we will open doors—not just to a building, but to opportunity, safety, celebration, and connection.

Stride For Pride- Nothing To Hide!

Every step supports the LGBTQ+ Visitor Center
