Pride Toronto is dealing with a $ 900,000 shortfall from major sponsors who pulled out of its 2025 festival.

Google and Home Depot were among the major corporate sponsors who reneged on financial support.

U.S. President Donald Trump campaigned on a promise to crackdown on diversity, equity and inclusion ( DEI ) initiatives.

For organizations like Pride Toronto , the rollbacks will require executives to rethink the festival’s funding strategy.

“Pride is a way for us to remember the sacrifices and struggles and the discrimination that a group of people has endured,” says Ng.

If this is something that we value as fundamental human rights then we should all support”.
