Through this 17-month project, ADF Toustes will strengthen the capacity and networks of 2SLGBTQI+ organizations to promote equality for 2SLGBTQI+ people, particularly trans and non-binary people in Rimouski.

Funding will serve to incorporate the organization, draft internal governance documents, establish the organization’s strategic plan, create communications initiatives with the relevant communities, organize training sessions, develop networking tools, plan fundraising events, and formulate a strategy for assessing financial sustainability.

Through this 29-month project, Diversity Ed. – Safer Spaces will build stronger capacity of 2SLGBTQI+ community organizations and networks to advance 2SLGBTQI+ equality, equity and inclusion in rural, remote and small urban centres. It will address the need for safer spaces for 2SLGBTQI+ people, their families, friends, and allies. The project will include establishing organizational priorities as identified in a community needs assessment, developing a strategic plan, developing new organizational plans, policies and procedures, improving Board governance by developing a Handbook, improving informed decision making through the development of standardized program management and evaluation tools, and strengthening networks and partnerships with other rural and remote community organizations.

Through this 29-month project, Ontario Digital Literacy and Access Network (ODLAN) will build stronger capacity of 2SLGBTQI+ community organizations and networks to advance 2SLGBTQI+ equality. It will address digital inequities among 2SLGBTQI+ communities. The project will include developing and implementing a strategic plan; consulting with the community to assess needs and gaps in ODLAN services; updating ODLAN’s communications strategy; creating an advocacy strategy; revising ODLAN’s fundraising strategy; and renewing ODLAN’s evaluation strategy.

Through this 30-month project, Thrive Counselling will scale an integrated service hub model for intimate partner violence, sexual assault, and human tracking survivors, to strengthen the GBV sector in Halton, Ontario. It will scale this service model which has shown to be successful delivering services that protect and empower survivors, including women, girls, and 2SLGBTQIA+ people experiencing violence in Peel and Waterloo in southern Ontario, as well as numerous locations across North America.

To do so, the project will engage with stakeholders, identify delivery partners, adjust the model to address the intersectional needs of the diverse communities it will serve, develop integrated service hub sites, establish integrated services for victims and survivors, and evaluate the service hub. Thrive Counselling will document learning and make it available in their website, social media, and webinars, to share information on the promising practice with others so that they may replicate it or expand upon it.

The supplemental funding will be used to increase knowledge mobilization by hosting an information sharing event on the best practices related to GBV hub models.
