Colors of Pride creates a positive energy through a giving, loving, diverse community of people. Those who are in need are brought together with volunteers in a way that rewards both groups. They have my admiration for the great effort they give to be so successful with what they do and my thanks for letting me to be a part of it when I can.

Nonprofit Overview
Mission: Colors of Cleveland Pride is an all volunteer non-profit organization created to provide outreach services to all communities of color, regardless of differences, in an effort to bridge the racial divisiveness locally and nationally within these communities. Our mission is to bring awareness, education, and knowledge of the plights of these communities to the general public in order to provide dialogue, intervention, and resolution, in addition to developing and nurturing relationships with other community organizations to support the needs of these communities. We hope that you find our organization worthy of your support and participation, as we can only attain success with the participation of the community.
