In June of 2021, our new logo sign was stolen from the front of the building. We are incredibly thankful for all those who donated towards a new sign, security, and safety for all those we serve. There were many many individual donors who gave up to $200 – we are not listing them all here for the sake of privacy, but we would like to acknowledge large donations from: Lacey McNamara, Matt Clevenger, the Branch Family, Garland Schonauer, Emma Veach, Skipper’s Brew Coffee House, The Reid Fund, Access Publishing, and Open Book Productions.

Thank you!

The Gala Pride and Diversity Center is grateful for the donations that keep our Center up and running and pay for our staff, programs, events, and more.

We couldn’t fulfill our mission of supporting and empowering people of all sexual orientations, gender identities, and expressions in order to strengthen and unite our Central Coast community without you. Thanks for being fabulous!

If you would like to make a monetary donation, please complete the form below. Thank you!
