Apply for Funding

Applications open August 15!

Each quarter, our donors receive a list of applications and provide feedback to our Board. Together, we collaborate to select funding recipients.
The amount of funds we distribute each quarter varies because we are funded by donations. We select at least one group each quarter.
Successful projects and/or their applications are published on our Recipients page. We do not publish your contact information.
Recipients are required to report back to our board at 3 and 6 month intervals, as well as shortly after the project end date, to elaborate on how the funds were used. Grant Agreement and Reporting Forms will be sent to successful recipients.

Applicants must identify how their project positively impacts the 2SLGBTQIA+ community on Vancouver Island and/or the Gulf Islands.
Applicants must also clearly demonstrate how their project aligns with one or two of our charitable purposes listed below.
We do not accept applications from for-profit corporations or sole proprietor for-profit businesses.
We do not fund projects outside of Vancouver Island and/or the Gulf Islands.
Applicants cannot apply for funding if they were finalists in our selection process during the previous 12 months.
The applicant and treasurer cannot be the same individual.

We improve the ethical development of the community by promoting respect for human rights of 2SLGBTQIA+ minorities through activities such as:

Raising awareness on areas in which 2SLGBTQ+ individuals continue to experience individual and systemic discrimination
Providing the basic necessities of life including food, shelter, and clothing to 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals experiencing poverty.
Providing 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals who are living with mental or physical health conditions with access to health-related support such as Self-Help Groups and Peer-Support Groups.
