This Month, We are Supporting
Whatcom Youth Pride

A1andALL is proud this month to support Whatcom Youth Pride. The organization is raising money for their parade and festival, and they are hoping to raise $1200 this month to support the Entertainment aspect of the festival on May 31.

Entertainment is one of the biggest draws for the Whatcom Youth Pride festival goers, and these funds will help pay for various performers and glitter / face-painting artists to be on hand - a very popular feature provided to any festival goer at no charge. So show your support for Whatcom Youth by considering making a donation today. Together, we really can make a difference.

Formed in late 2018/early 2019, volunteers including school staff, educators, parents, and community members came together with a shared goal of finding ways to celebrate and show support to LGBTQIA+ youth in Whatcom County.

In June 2019, the WYPC hosted one of the nation's only (possibly the first ever!) all-youth Pride Parade and Festivals.  LGBTQIA+ youth, allies, and their families marched along a short parade route while the community lined the streets in support.  The day culminated in a large festival with LGBTQIA+ youth-focused and allied organizations tabling, food trucks, and a youth-led afternoon of entertainment and activities.

In 2020 and 2021, the event took a pause as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The parade and festival was back in-person and better than ever in 2022, and continued the positive momentum in 2023 and 2024… and here we are in 2025!

This year on Saturday, May 31 (11am-2pm) there will be a Whatcom County LGBTQIA+ youth Pride parade, festival, performances, food trucks, makers space, queer youth art market, and more!

Our Mission

A1amdALL, the nonprofit started by A1DesignBuild, believes in the power of compassion and contribution. With a heart set on communal growth, our worker-owned cooperative has pledged to allocate 10% of our annual Net Income before taxes to ignite positive change within Bellingham and Whatcom County. Our mission is twofold: to support valuable projects that enrich our community and to provide a transparent, trustworthy conduit for our clients, community members, and employees to contribute to these causes.

Our Commitment

Since becoming a co-op in 2017, A1DesignBuild has donated over $250,000+ in cash, materials/goods, and labor back into Whatcom County.

In the spirit of transparency and accountability, we're not just discussing dollars and cents; we're talking about real impact. From feeding the hungry and supporting education to ensuring environmental sustainability, our efforts are as diverse as the community we serve.

For every project or nonprofit we fund, you can expect a thorough Impact Report released publicly that traces every dollar donated and the return on investment (ROI) this provides to our community.
