Deadline: 23-Oct-20
The Tegan and Sara Foundation (TSF) is inviting Canadian organizations serving LGBTQ2S+ people for its Community Grants programme. The goal is to fund the projects meeting the immediate needs of those most affected, whether through making resources for the community available digitally, creating spaces online for art, positivity and conversation, and more.
The Tegan and Sara Foundation remains committed to uplifting the LGBTQ2S+ community, especially as current times have left queer people uniquely disadvantaged.
TSF Community Grants were first launched in 2020 support issues like increased need in LGBTQ+ communities from COVID-19; movements for racial justice; and grassroots efforts educating and registering LGBTQ+ voters. The goal was to reach organizations and activists often overlooked by traditional funding institutions.
