Beacon’s community partner
for July- September 2026 is
NORTHERN ARIZONA PRIDE ASSOCIATION
Beacon will Share the Plate for the third quarter 2026 (July-September) with Northern Arizona Pride Association (NAPA). Incorporated as a 501c3 non-profit in 1999, NAPA sponsors Pride Weekend events including the Pride Parade and Pride in the Pines.
Core values of NAPA are diversity, visibility, inclusiveness, opportunity and equity. An acronym for the diversity they aspire to is 2SLGBTQIA+. Emphasis is placed on 2S (Two-Spirit) to elevate the importance of Indigenous peoples and their contribution to the pride movement.
Two-Spirit refers to individuals who embody both masculine and feminine qualities, who have held honored positions in Indigenous societies; yet colonization led to marginalization and erasure of their identities. The vision of NAPA is to “envision a Flagstaff and Northern Arizona where 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals are welcomed, supported, and able to live safely, authentically, and free from discrimination, prejudice, and bias.”
50% of undesignated contributions to the Sunday Service offerings will be presented to Northern Arizona Pride Association for Quarter 3.
