The Inland Northwest Business Alliance (INBA) is Spokane’s Gay Chamber of Commerce with members in Eastern Washington and North Idaho. We network closely with our sister chamber in Seattle, the Greater Seattle Business Association as well as other GLBT chambers at regional and national leadership conferences. The alliance is an affiliate chamber of National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC).
The INBA was established in 1994 with a charter group of 25 members as a 501(c)6 non-profit organization to network and socialize in a safe environment. Today the INBA has grown to over 120 members of gay and gay-friendly professionals. INBA Members agree to abide by our Business Standards of Ethics and Conduct. Membership is open to all businesses, professionals and individuals who subscribe to the purposes of the alliance.

Pride Foundation was founded in late 1985 by four committed individuals, who believed that the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community needed its own philanthropic organization. In 1987 the Pride Foundation awarded its first grants to organizations totaling $7,654. Now the foundation grants hundreds of thousands of dollars every year. In 1993 the Pride Foundation started a scholarship program, giving $3,680 that first year. Since then the program has become one of the nation’s largest LGBT scholarship funds. Since its founding, the Pride Foundation has put more than $8 million to work building equality for the LGBT community.
