Pride Business Club
In order to involve the business community even more in the realisation of our objectives, a Pride Business Club was founded. As a member of the business club, you are part of a network of professionals who find diversity and emancipation of LGBT people important and support us financially, substantively and/or creatively from their social commitment. To become a member, you must have an LGBT network and a demonstrable diversity and inclusivity policy. Before you are admitted as a member, a balloting committee will consider your application and check for PinkWashing.
Join the Pride Business Club!
A company membership costs at least €2,000 excl. VAT per year (minimum 3 years), but we would appreciate it if companies contribute more according to their means. Of this amount, 50% is for the continuity of the organisation and 50% is spent on organising substantive activities. For each company, we register one contact person who will be invited to the meetings and activities. Club members with membership are always allowed to bring someone along to the activities.
Are you a ZZP'er and would you like to be part of this unique network? For €1000 excl. VAT per year you can be a member and attend all activities.
Club Benefits
Business Club members are invited to an exclusive club event three times a year and are our guests on the club decks during Pride. In addition, members have the right* to sign up for participation in the boat parade. Send an e-mail to [email protected] for the possibilities.
Sign up
You can sign up for the Pride Business Club using this application form. Please send the completed form incl. company logo to [email protected].
*Companies whose communications do not focus exclusively on the LGBT community can only participate in the boat parade from 2018 if they are members of the Pride Business Club.
Costs Boat Parade & Visibility Fund
The total cost of the boat parade comes to around €730,000. Of this, €200,000 is covered by subsidy from the City of Amsterdam and €150,000 by income from the boats along the route. Without participating Pride Business Club Members, the price for participation per boat would come to €380,000 / 80 = €4,750. To keep the parade accessible, Pride Amsterdam Foundation uses its commercial income to sell half of the starting tickets well below cost. For example, a local chapter of the COC pays €250 and the national organisation €750.
