Apply to be a nonprofit beneficiary for 2026!

As part of the Castro Street Fair’s commitment to community support and inclusion, we welcome community nonprofits—especially organizations that serve or uplift the Castro, LGBTQ+ communities, and surrounding neighborhoods—to become a beneficiary partner.

Beneficiaries selected will receive a share of the 52nd Castro Street Fair’s proceeds by providing much needed volunteers. Beneficiaries also gain visibility, volunteer engagement, and a chance to be part of one of San Francisco’s most beloved neighborhood events.

How It Works:
Beneficiary organizations provide volunteers to support key areas of the Fair, such as entry gate donation collection, set-up, breakdown, and other logistics.

Eligibility & Requirements:
To apply, your organization must be a local 501(c)(3) nonprofit serving the Castro or surrounding communities.
