Grassroot donors

UVM-Porter Medical Center
MiddPride was supported in 2023 through a generous VT Community Health Equity Partnership grant. This grant allowed us to grow our celebration... hundreds of attendees attended our second year! Pride festivals, like ours, contribute to LGBTQIA+ (youth) wellbeing and make our community healthier. Porter returns for our 2024 MiddPride to provide fall flu and COVID vaccines!
