Applications are open from May 15 until (insert date), 2025 at (insert time).

This Application Form is for groups or projects who wish to receive funds from Island Queers and Allies Who Care Society. Applicants cannot reapply for funding if they were finalists in our selection process during the previous 12 months. You do not need to have charitable or tax-deductible status to apply.

Please submit your group’s application by completing the form below.

Successful projects and/or their applications are published on our website and are accessible to anyone. We will never publish your contact information or any questions you include in your application - this information will only go to our Board.

Applicants need to clearly identify how their project relates to the queer community on Vancouver Island, the Discovery Islands and/or the Gulf Islands, and how it directly aligns with one or more of our charitable purposes. The more detailed your application form is, the better chance it has of success.
