COME OUT WITH PRIDE, INC.
ORLANDO, FLORIDA

Come Out With Pride Orlando, Inc., is a passionate volunteer-run nonprofit dedicated to making a positive change in the LGBTQ+ community around Orlando and beyond. Every October, they host their signature event that draws people from all over Central Florida and across the country to come together with #KeepDancingOrlando as their rallying cry. Their mission is simple yet profound: bring businesses, professionals, individuals, and charitable organizations within the LGBTQ+ and allied communities closer. They strive to be a source of inspiration while also supporting other local LGBTQ+ nonprofits by providing financial aid through grants funded from event proceeds. The roots of Come Out With Pride trace back to 2005 when it emerged as a distinct group under the Metropolitan Business Association (MBA), Central Florida’s LGBTQ+ chamber of commerce. Its aim was always clear-to unite and create open conversations within the local community. Today, it's one of the largest pride events in Florida, drawing over 150,000 people in 2016 alone and contributing an astonishing $11 million to Orlando's economy that year. An important aspect of their work lies in giving back through charitable acts like cash grants and scholarships, with contributions over $30,000 noted by 2016. They actively partner with local entities to bolster groups seeking to support education and assistance within the LGBTQ+ community. On record since January 18, 2006, as a domestic nonprofit corporation (DOMNP) in Florida via Models DOS, the organization is guided by Angela Eagle as President, Maia Monet as Director, and Julie Tindall as Secretary. Come Out With Pride operates out of their office at 424 E Central Blvd, Orlando, FL, with their unique FEIN number being 264696702.
