Rams for PRIDE

CELEBRATING PROGRESS

Cultivate meaningful connections among members of the LGBTQIA+ communities at VCU and the broader community.

A history of advocacy and action

Rams for PRIDE was established in 2025 thanks to the support and guidance of a group of dedicated members of the VCU LGBTQIA+ community. The initiative’s goal is to empower individuals, amplify voices and cultivate meaningful connections.

Join Rams for PRIDE

With a gift to the Rams for PRIDE Fund, members enjoy connection with a passionate network of alums, donors and allies while directly advancing VCU programs and initiatives that uplift and center LGBTQIA+ experiences. To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Gay Alliance of Students, we encourage individuals to join at the following amounts. Those who make gifts on or before October 31, 2027, are recognized as founding members and will be listed publicly if they opt in:

$5,000 over a five-year period ($1,000/year or $84/month)
$500 a year ($84/month)
$50 annually

Per VCU policy, all are invited to join, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. Membership recognition is renewable annually.
