Patrons of Pride - For Local Northshore Businesses
PRIDE Northshore Mission and Program
PRIDE Northshore is Southeast Louisiana’s all-ages celebration of LGBTQ+ PRIDE Month (June 1 - 30), produced by St Tammany-based nonprofit, Queer Northshore. As a 501c3, our mission is to promote LGBTQ+ visibility, community and acceptance in Southeast Louisiana’s Northshore region.
What is Patrons of Pride?
Patrons of Pride is a flexible, community-driven program for local businesses to participate in Pride Northshore. You choose a product, service, or event—like a featured menu item, Pride-themed product, or a special gathering—and pledge a percentage of proceeds from June sales to support Queer Northshore.
Why should your business participate?
Promote Your Business to a Supportive Audience: We’ll showcase your business on our Patrons of Pride landing page and give you a dedicated post on our social channels, reaching an audience of over 3,500 engaged supporters.
Easy to Participate: No complicated tracking or commitments—just tell us what you’re offering, and at the end of June, we’ll follow up with a simple donation link.
Make an Impact Locally: Join dozens of other businesses showing visible support for the LGBTQ+ community while driving foot traffic, online sales, and brand loyalty.
Examples from last year:
St. John’s Coffeehouse: Donated 15% from Iced Blueberry Matcha sales
Gnarly Barley: Donated 15% from Pride-themed merchandise
Tandem Coffee & Cocktails: Donated from sales of their Pride Game Night and signature cocktail
Zoe’s Bakery: Donated 20% from Pride cupcakes

Louisiana has over 200k LGBTQ+ adult residents, and thousands of them live right here on the Northshore. No other outlet in the area will allow your business to connect with thousands of LGBTQ+ individuals and their families with the same impact and reach that PRIDE Northshore will. According to Harns/Witeck-Combs, 72% of LGBTQ+ individuals prefer to buy from companies that advertise to them directly. Showing your support for PRIDE Northshore conveys that you stand with the LGBTQ+ community and tells our community that we can take pride in your business.
