The Lexington Pride Center's biggest event of the year, the Lexington Pride Festival, is an important regional celebration of the LGBTQIA+ community and a chance for all of us to take pride in who we are. Traditionally held on the last Saturday of June, it is open to all - all ages, genders, abilities, identities, races, and ethnicities - represented in our growing acronym. The purpose of the Lexington Pride Festival is to create a safe public space, at least once per year, where LGBTQIA+ Kentuckians can be who they are and love who they love while being accepted, supported, and celebrated.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $200k to $81k (−60%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2021 0% · 2022 1% · 2023 8% · 2024 4% · 2025 14%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 5 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2019 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 3 funders, grant income fell $40k → $30k.
2 of 6 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 12% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

LEXINGTON GAY SERVICES ORGANIZATION INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 73% of grant income and the top three 97%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
99% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund LEXINGTON GAY SERVICES ORGANIZATION INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2019 87% · 2020 86% · 2021 100% · 2022 40% · 2023 42% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $59k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
