Our Story

MS Capital City Pride Logo

Capital City Pride

Capital City Pride is a 501c(3) organization that was founded to provide support to the LGBTQ+ community in Jackson, Mississippi through the implementation of events throughout the year, including a yearly Pride Celebration. Capital City Pride's mission is to create safe spaces for the LGBTQ+ community in Jackson, MS; while advocating for their needs and mentoring new emerging leaders. 


Capital City Pride is made up by a 11 person Board. Its Members represent all sexual orientations, socioeconomic backgrounds, race, and age.


Each year its two day Pride Celebration will have a charity aspect, and the Committee will vote on a non profit who embodies the same beliefs of Capital City Pride, and ensures they are promoting the well being and health of our LGBTQ+ community. That non profit will benefit monetarily from events produced by Capital City Pride during the celebration.

2021 Beneficiary: Grace House

Grace house Services

Grace House is a Mississippi 501(c)3 that was founded in 1995. Grace House was established to provide a place where men with a common bond, (HIV/AIDS), could live with integrity and without fear and prejudice. At that time, Grace House consisted of one house which could take in a maximum of twelve residents. 


In October 2014, Grace House Services opened Grace House for Women, a 90-day secondary and long term transitional apartment living program for homeless women recovering from chemical dependency. 


Today, Grace House is the largest HOPWA housing provider in the state of Mississippi providing services to persons living with HIV, poverty, chemical dependency and housing insecurities.
