Registration Information

How to Register

REGISTRATION OPENS ON FEBRUARY 14, 2026

Please fill out the 2026 Disability Pride NYC Parade Registration Form.

Registering allows Disability Pride Parade NYC to share the most up-to-date parade information.

Giving Back to the Parade

The Disability Pride Parade NYC has a mutual aid requirement. The parade should be inclusive of all -- including people and organizations with limited funds--while also helping DPNYC.

We are, however, mandating all registered groups (NOT individual participants) to fulfill the mutual aid requirement by participating in the Give or Get Challenge. This means completing one of the following:

1) Give based on your budget: Make a donation that fits your capacity--big or small--as long as it's a multiple of 10. Please indicate on the Registration Form if you are unable to donate. Here is the suggested sliding scale for the required donation:

●     Under $25k: $30–$50

●     $25k–$100k: $100–$250

●     $100k–$250k: $250–$500

●     $250k–$1M: $500–$1,500

●     $1M+: $1,500+

  OR

2) Invite others to participate: We recommend this if you are unable to donate or to find a donor able to pay the required participation fee. Encourage others to donate, march, or support the parade through one of the following options:

• Post a minimum of 4 times on social media (we recommend posting once about Parade planning, once about outreach methods, once about registration, and once post-Parade).

• Personally reach out to at least 5 groups or individuals  (found to be more effective)

You will need to record your contribution amount(s) or outreach in this Give or Get Form (https://forms.gle/kY8aCg8mBeaPM1Rb6) to complete your registration and ensure your participation is acknowledged.

Larger financial commitments are appreciated! If you or your organization would like to become a parade sponsor, please email Glen Parker, Vice-President, Disability Pride NYC at ghp@parkerlawusa.com or Matthew Estep, Treasurer, Disability Pride NYC at Matthew.Estep@ahrcnyc.org, and we will contact you.

Unlike many parades in New York City that charge mandatory registration fees—such as the Puerto Rican Day, Panamanian, Mermaid, and West Indian Day Parades—we do not ask individuals or schools for fees, so the event remains open to all.

In past years, the City helped cover half our costs, but that support is no longer available. We now look to organizations and corporations to contribute at a level that feels right for them. Your support through our PayPal, Zeffy, and Venmo accounts will help keep this celebration thriving.
