Dear Pride Center Partners, Supporters, Community Members, Allies and Advocates,

Last year, a record number of anti-LGBTQ+ and anti-Trans* bills were proposed nationwide, and sadly, LGBTQ hate incidents have also climbed, even locally in San Mateo County. In response, we’ve witnessed and participated in our own community’s strength and community-rallying. Throughout San Mateo County, the many partnerships and collaborative efforts we’ve forged have helped us create vital programming in the name of affirmation, visibility, inclusion, and a declaration of belonging for our LGBTQ+ community.

Collectively, the Pride Center team is proud of the impact we’ve helped make. We could not accomplish all that we do without your support, and for that, we are incredibly grateful.

We are proud to publish the San Mateo County Pride Center's 2022-2023 Fiscal Year in Review: The Progress of Our Pride.

2022-2023 Year In Review (Click here to Read)

Some of Our Major Accomplishments include:

We've again doubled our reach from the previous year: reaching over 9,500 individuals across all our programs!

And, through our Clinical Services (Therapy and Case Management):

2 out 3 (67%) clients identified as Transgender, Non-binary, or Gender Diverse
45% of clients identified as BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and/or People of Color)
Over half of our clients fall under Extremely Low, Very Low, or Low -income limits for SMC
Over 450 individuals have been served to date through our Name and Gender Change workshops!

We helped organize the county's first Trans* Action Day of Change (TDAC) event

We worked with a county-wide committee to advocate to #EndTDOR. Attendees left the event with educational resources about transgender and gender diverse individuals and received tools they can use to continue to enact effective change all year long.

In closing, we share a heartfelt quote from one of our community members:

“As someone who grew up in San Mateo County and relocated before the Pride Center opened, it was so heartwarming to receive this information and guidance from folks in that area and know that others in my hometown are able to receive services there.”

This is dedication. This is heart. This is the impact.

This is the Progress of our Pride!

In community and with pride,

The San Mateo County Pride Center
