The City of Springfield REQUIRES all businesses to have a business license to participate in Greater Ozarks Pridefest, whether you are selling products during the festival or not. If you are not sure your profession or business requires a business license, please contact the City of Springfield Licensing Department at (417) 864-1617 or licensing@springfieldmo.gov.

If you do not have a license, your application will not be approved until you provide a City of Springfield business license number.

The City does provide one day licenses. The City license application can be found here: http://www.springfieldmo.gov/DocumentCenter/View/21870

If you do not have a license at this time, we will still take your application. However, you will not be approved until you provide the City License number to us by e-mail at pride@glocenter.org.

Do you have a City of Springfield Business License?*

Yes No

The City of Springfield requires us to report anything that will be handed out at booths. (This includes pamphlets, water, food, merchandise, etc.) Please provide a short description of what, if anything, your business/organization will be handing out at your booth. If you will not be handing out any materials, please type, "None."

We will do our best to accommodate requests; though this is not a guarantee of location. If you have a preferred location, please describe, indicating any special specific needs (electricity, privacy, near grass for pups, etc.).

How are you planning to interact with attendees? (art activity, conversation, handouts, etc)

Ozarks Inclusion Project

With your Vendor Booth, you will also receive a Basic Listing on OzarksInclusionProject.org at no additional charge.

The Ozarks Inclusion Project connects the LGBTQ+ community in southwest Missouri with the inclusive businesses and organizations who are excited about employing, housing, and offering services to gay and transgender folks. This is a year-round online directory, coupled with trainings, and other ways of connecting. Basic listings are free, and 3 months of Sponsored or Premium listings are included with specific Sponorship categories, as indicated above. Would you like your organization/business to be listed at ozarksinclusionproject.org?

Yes No

If you answered yes, please answer the following questions:

1. Our company or organization explicitly protects against discrimination in employment and services on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity, including on applications.

Yes, I agree.

2. Even when policies exist, or are mandated by law, subtle discrimination can still seep into a company's culture. We affirm that we are committed to radical inclusion, making welcoming space for people of all abilities and disabilities, being proactively anti-racist, boldly recognizing the strengths of people of all faiths or no religious affiliation. Because we know that a space that is not safe for a trans black woman, or a gay man in a wheelchair, or a Muslim genderqueer person is not truly an inclusive space for the LGBTQ+ community.

Yes, I agree.

3. We affirm the right of all people of all genders and abilities to safe, unobstructed use of restroom/locker room facilities.

Yes, I agree.

3.b. All single-user restrooms/locker rooms display gender neutral signage.

Yes No, we need to get signage.

4. Our staff has undergone LGBTQ+ cultural competency training provided by The GLO Center or other approved source within the last 3 years.

Yes No Yes, but we could probably use a refresher, or have additional staff to train, or are not sure if the training would be considered "approved." Not sure
