Scale-up a financial planning business by adding new services

This 32-month project will permit the organization of a provincial gathering of LGBTQ2 organizations to initiate a strategic reflection on the development of a concerted organizational vision that takes into account the diversity of realities and issues facing LGBTQ2 communities in Quebec. It will also help strengthen the financial viability of the organization and its ability to support its members by improving its communication practices, implementing a micro-financing program primarily targeting LGBTQ2 service organizations located outside the province's metropolitan areas and providing fundraising support services and capacity-building activities.

The additional funding will allow the organization to continue its expansion by strengthening its governance and communication practices and developing its programming. The organization will also implement an action plan derived from its strategic planning to build the capacity of its member organizations through the creation of an intra- and inter-regional mentoring program, explore new networking opportunities, develop a fundraising strategy and organize a second provincial LGBTQ2 consultation meeting with member organizations.
