ASC Sponsors 2024 Charlotte Pride Festival

ASC believes that creativity comes in many forms and is critical in creating a sense of belonging to a community. So, we invest in creative individuals and a wide range of non-profit organizations to ensure we create an equitable, sustainable and innovative creative ecosystem in which EVERYONE can participate.

And what better way to demonstrate this commitment than to be a Visionary Sponsor of the 2024 Charlotte Pride Festival & Parade, which returns to uptown Charlotte Aug. 17-18.

The two-day cultural festival includes a variety of national, regional and local entertainers, musicians, bands and hundreds of participating vendor booths, including art exhibits, local nonprofits, retailers, a food court and more. It also includes “Flourish: A Celebration of LGBTQ Arts & Culture,” at The Mint Museum Uptown.

ASC is thrilled to celebrate Charlotte Pride, which helps increase the visibility of the lives and experiences of LGBTQ+ people in Charlotte and the Carolinas.

Part of ASC’s work to increase LGBTQ+ visibility is to highlight the investments we are making to organizations with a primary mission of serving the LGBTQ+ community and to creative individuals who identify as members of the LGBTQ+ community. Below is a look at ASC’s FY24 investments in grantees that identify as and/or serve the LGBTQ+ community.
