The IFBP is a coalition of Black Pride organizers formed to promote a multinational network of LGBT/Same Gender Loving Pride and community-based organizations dedicated to building solidarity, promoting unity, and ensuring the development of education, economic empowerment, and individual and collective work. The IFBP was organized during DC Black Pride of May 1999 by a coalition of Black Pride organizers representing Chicago, North Carolina, New York, Atlanta, Detroit, Minneapolis (Twin Cities), and Washington, DC. The organizers saw a need to organize the twenty plus Black Prides in the United States and abroad to network, develop sponsorship strategies, provide technical assistance, mentor and support one another. In November 2000, the original seven cities plus LA at the Beach and Jacksonville formalized the International Federation of Black Prides and has adopted bylaws, elected officers and have started the process of applying to the IRS non profit status. In April 2001, the IFBP extended invitations to the other remaining Black Prides as the organization prepares for its first Annual Meeting under the new bylaws. IFBP has produced the first ever brochure listing all of the 2001 Black Prides in the United States. Since 2002, the IFBP expanded its membership to include Baltimore, Boston, Memphis, St. Louis, Kansas City, MO, Philadelphia, South Africa, Nashville and Charlotte. In 2003, the IFBP became incorporated in the District of Columbia.
