Pacific Pride Foundation

Pacific Pride Foundation (PPF) is the largest LGBTQ+ center between Los Angeles and San Francisco, serving all of Santa Barbara County. Partnering with 65 educational and nonprofit agencies, we create a thriving and visible LGBTQ+ community and prevent the transmission of HIV and HEP-C. Serving more than 10,000 people per year with an annual budget of $1.4 million, our programs focus on the health and wellness of individuals as well as the community. During Covid, we have pivoted to provide most programs virtually, including programs for youth and older adults, counseling services, LGBTQ+ competency training, community events, and advocacy. Additionally, we continue to provide the only syringe exchange program in Santa Barbara County.
