The Utah Pride Center has shared a financial report following its 2025 “Radical Love” festival.
The nonprofit organization spent more than $1.1 million on the event, which was held June 7-8.
The parade itself cost the Pride Center $118,000.
Elsewhere, the center spent $165,000 on security, $160,000 on equipment and fencing, $170,000 on tenting and $200,000 on entertainment.
The event brought in just over $1.3 million in revenue, down from previous year. Of the 2025 revenue, $200,000 came from from vendor fees, $480,000 from ticketing and $390,000 from sponsorships.
The Pride Center lost sponsors this year because of ongoing backlash against diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives.
The roughly $143,000 in net proceeds from “Radical Love” will benefit the programs at the center. In 2024, the center earned $374,000 from the festival and parade.
Still, the report shows the LGBTQ+ nonprofit is making headway after years of weathering bumpy financials and internal strife. In August 2023, the center admitted to “massive financial turmoil” after a third of the organization’s employees were laid off.
