BOISE, ID – Boise Pride says corporate sponsorship for its 2025 festival is down by $190,000 compared to last year, prompting organizers to scale back plans.
In a statement on social media, the organization reported that corporate partners contributed $440,000 in 2024. As of last week, sponsorships totaled just $250,000.
Organizers said festival plans have been adjusted to reflect available resources, though the theme, “Our Pride, Our Power,” remains unchanged.
The organization hopes to continue is its Pride Festival fireworks show with the help of a crowdfunding campaign to raise $15,000 to cover related expenses. The organization said the show will be held regardless of how much is raised, but the scale will depend on community contributions.
