This will be achieved by building managerial capacity through hiring and training the leadership team; ensuring long-term sustainability by moving away from solely volunteer-run operations; improving access to funding opportunities through establishing multiple sustainable income sources; increasing access to evidence, data, information and knowledge sources based on real, evidence-based knowledge of stakeholders; and by strengthening collaboration among organizations, with existing and new partnerships, creating opportunities for members of 2SLGBTQI+ communities to gather and exist safely, ultimately creating a wide-reaching, collaborative network of Canadians working together towards the advancement of 2SLGBTQI+ social and economic equality.
By the end of this project, UPlift Black will have increased internal capacity to serve BIPOC 2SLGBTQI+ persons in Simcoe County and will have expanded and fortified a network of collaborators in order to continue advancing 2SLGBTQI+ equality with an intersectional approach across Canada.
