Pride Toronto said Wednesday it’s facing a $ 900,000 funding gap due to sponsors pulling out and the rising costs of running the festival.

Google , Nissan , Home Depot and Clorox are among the companies that decided not to contribute funds this year .

Executive director Kojo Modeste linked the withdrawals to backlash against diversity, equity and inclusion efforts in the U.S. under President Donald Trump .

Next year's festival is likely to be scaled down as a result of the shortfall.
