Community Plea

Pomona Valley Pride is more than a building, it’s a safe, welcoming space where LGBTQIA2S+ people and our families can find connection, support, resources, and hope. And right now, we’re asking our community to help us open more doors.

Square-Up for Scholarships is our fundraiser to directly support scholarships and opportunities for community members who deserve access to education, training, and a brighter future, without having to choose between survival and their goals.

For many LGBTQIA2S+ youth and adults in the Pomona Valley and Inland Empire, the barriers are real: unstable housing, family rejection, discrimination, and financial hardship. Scholarships don’t just help someone “get ahead.” They help someone stay in school, stay safe, and stay connected to a future they can actually see themselves in.

When you give, you’re not just donating to a program, you’re investing in someone’s next step:

A student who needs books, fees, or transportation
A young person building independence and stability
A community member pursuing training that leads to real employment
A future leader who will give back to this community in powerful ways

We’re inviting you to square up — to round up your support, to stand up with us, and to show our community that they are not alone.

Every contribution matters. Every share helps. Every act of support sends a message:
You belong. You are worthy. And your future is worth fighting for.

If Pomona Valley Pride has ever helped you, someone you love, or someone you’ve never met but still care about, this is a moment to give that support forward.

Please donate to Square-Up for Scholarships today, and help us fund futures, one scholarship at a time.

With gratitude and pride,
Pomona Valley Pride
