The Rainbow Fund supports projects, organisations and initiatives that strengthen LGBTQ+ communities across the city, helping create opportunities and support that extend beyond Pride itself.

The campaign forms part of the ongoing partnership between Milton Keynes Pride Festival and MK Community Foundation, helping raise awareness of the Rainbow Fund and create a lasting legacy for LGBTQ+ communities across Milton Keynes.

Keith Emmett III, Festival Director of Milton Keynes Pride Festival, said:

“Pride has always been about bringing people together, celebrating visibility and creating opportunities for our community to thrive. This campaign allows us to do exactly that.

‘All Born Naked, The Rest Is Drag’ has become a powerful symbol of what can be achieved when creativity, community and partnership come together. Every donation will help support the Rainbow Fund and the incredible work it will continue to do for LGBTQ+ communities across Milton Keynes.”

Ian Revell, Chief Executive of MK Community Foundation, said:

“Pride events across the country are facing growing financial pressure, at a time when the LGBTQ+ community continues to experience higher levels of discrimination and poorer mental health. In that context, free, visible community events matter more, not less.

We are proud to play our part in providing stability at a time of increasing strain, and to stand alongside MK Pride Festival, which provides something truly special and essential to our city.”

Milton Keynes Pride Festival takes place at Campbell Park Events Plateau on Saturday 12 September 2026, bringing thousands of people together for a free celebration of LGBTQ+ community, culture and Pride.

The campaign concludes on 1 October 2026, when one supporter will win All Born Naked, The Rest Is Drag – Artist Proof 1 of 5.
