Pride Build Event: Marketing Campaign Strategy Guide

Pride Build events represent a powerful opportunity to unite your community around a shared vision of inclusion and housing justice. However, without a strategic approach to capturing and sharing these moments, your affiliate misses a crucial chance to amplify your impact, build stronger connections, and attract future support.
Many under-resourced Habitat affiliates struggle to maximize these events for community building and storytelling, but you don’t have to reinvent the wheel. Our tested systems help you transform one Pride Build into months of powerful, mission-driven content.
This Campaign Strategy Guide is designed to:
- Create repeatable systems and processes that save time and eliminate guesswork for future events
- Delegate effectively to staff and volunteers with clear checklists anyone can follow
- Build stronger relationships with LGBTQ+ allies and sponsors by highlighting their involvement meaningfully
- Capture authentic moments that resonate with your community and inspire continued support
- Turn one event into months of powerful content for fundraising, volunteer recruitment, and awareness
- Communicate inclusion values that attract diverse supporters to your mission
