Nope. Our organization has a strong focus on inclusion. While our primary focus is to support and empower individuals within the LGBTQ+ spectrum, our mission and vision extend to fostering understanding, acceptance, and support among all community members. We believe that creating an inclusive and affirming environment involves the participation and cooperation of everyone in Chatham County. Our events, programs, and initiatives are open to allies, family members, friends, and anyone who supports our goals of promoting equality, understanding, and diversity. By engaging the broader community, we aim to build a more inclusive, respectful, and supportive environment for everyone, regardless of their sexual orientation, gender identity, or background.

Chatham Pride serves the entirety of Chatham County, not just Pittsboro. By organizing events, providing resources, and building partnerships, we strive to reach and support individuals and communities in all areas of the county, ensuring that everyone has access to the support and resources they need to live authentically and free from oppression and discrimination.

Both Chatham Pride and PBO Pride began as grassroots community initiatives. Beginning in 2025, Chatham Pride is proud to serve as the host organization for PBO Pride.

Currently, Chatham Pride is privately funded. As we grow, we see ourselves reaching out to the community for support. In addition, we will be seeking alternative sources of funding that align with the goals of our organization.
