Your donation to the Community One Foundation goes a long way. 100% of the funding for the Rainbow Grants Program comes from generous contributions by individual donors and by businesses and organizations who recognize there are existing and emerging needs in our community.

Since 1980, more than a thousand LGBTTIQQ2S groups and projects have recieved funding to support young folks, the arts, health services, newcomers, seniors and many others. This year, we gave grants to 38 amazing community projects in Toronto and Durham, Halton, Peel and York regions.

These projects change the direction of our community by building partnerships between great ideas and good people; connecting them to the resources that make these projects come alive!

Please consider making a gift today.
