About the Program
Preserving local stories.
Training future storytellers.
Uplifting the desert.
Mr. Pinque Presents is a nonprofit media and cultural organization serving Palm Springs and the broader Coachella Valley through educational, community-based, and public-interest storytelling. Through print, digital, and video media, the organization works to inform, educate, and uplift the public while preserving the stories, people, places, and cultural movements that shape the desert.
At the heart of our mission is a commitment to amplifying underrepresented voices, including LGBTQ+ individuals, minority-owned businesses, women-owned businesses, local creators, entrepreneurs, and community members whose stories are too often overlooked.
Mr. Pinque Presents also invests in the next generation of storytellers by providing training, mentorship, and hands-on opportunities for students, interns, and emerging media makers. By combining education, community engagement, workforce development, and mission-driven media, we create meaningful public benefit while helping build a stronger creative future for the Coachella Valley.
