Official Events are opportunities to raise funds for Palm Springs Pride programs and to cover the cost of the Pride Week Celebration.
Pride partnerships are formed with community organizations whose membership desires a larger participatory role in the Pride weekend events. A Pride Partnership calls on the various skills and insights unique to the individual organization. Partnerships produce programming rich in cultural diversity and inclusive of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and ally communities of Palm Springs and the Coachella Valley.
If you select a beneficiary for your event, Palm Springs Pride requests that it be the beneficiary of any donations from the EVENT. Now that the Pride event is free to attend, we rely on the community more than ever to help generate the funds required to host the annual Pride celebration.
This promotional agreement is entered into between Greater Palm Springs Pride, a California 501(c)(3) nonprofit public benefit corporation, hereinafter referred to as "PRIDE," and the individual, nonprofit organization, or company submitting this Official Event Application, hereinafter referred to as "PRODUCER."
WHEREAS, PRIDE and PRODUCER desire to enter into an agreement in which PRIDE will offer PRODUCER certain promotional opportunities in association with being an Official Event of Palm Springs Pride 2023, all subject to the terms and conditions provided below.
Official Events are opportunities to raise funds for Palm Springs Pride programs and to cover the cost of the Pride Week Celebration.
When an event is accepted as an Official Event, PRIDE promotes it through its marketing channels and includes it in Official Event listings for the annual Pride celebration. The PRODUCER should not rely solely on PRIDE’s marketing efforts to promote an event.
PRIDE encourages PRODUCER to look at PRIDE as an ancillary marketing channel to help get the word out.
Official Events are not Sponsorships of Palm Springs Pride.

a) Donate its marketing services to promote details of the EVENT. Marketing materials will include the pspride.org website, listing in the pride magazine, select event ads, e-news blasts, and on Facebook;
b) Endorse the event as an “Official Pride Event” and approve your use of this tag in its marketing;
b.1) Provide “Official Pride Event” logo and grant permission to use it in conjunction with PRODUCER’S marketing efforts surrounding the Event;
b.2) As an Official Event, PRODUCER agrees to include the PRIDE Official Event logo and Pride URL in all PRODUCER advertising of event;
b.3) PRODUCER agrees that it will not produce, or market any other events as an Official Pride Event, other than the event(s) detailed in this Official Event Application;
c) Serve as a marketing partner to you; however, Palm Springs Pride is not involved in planning, production, or staging of the event; and
d) See Benefits Chart below for other benefits available to PRODUCER by making a good faith donation to PRIDE to recognize the marketing efforts and donated services the Pride organization brings to the table.
e) Benefits provided to PRODUCER upon receipt of the contribution. All payments must be received by August 1, 2023.
PRODUCER AGREES TO THE FOLLOWING:
a) PRODUCER agrees not to solicit or otherwise engage with PRIDE sponsors for the event detailed in this application;
b) Non-Discrimination. PRODUCER shall not discriminate against any person or persons in connection with the admission, services, or privileges offered to or enjoyed by the general public because of race, creed, ancestry, sexual orientation or affectional preference, disability, color, sex, marital status, age, religion or national origin.
c) PRODUCER as Sole Producer and Responsible Party: PRODUCER is the sole producer of event(s) listed in this application, and PRODUCER assumes full responsibility for every aspect of the production of the event(s), including, but not limited to marketing, promotions, staffing, risk management, and compliance with all Federal, State, and local laws and ordinances related to public events where liquor sales are conducted.
