The Rainbow Grants Program (formerly known as LGCA Grants) is designed to help you connect with resources that will help to activate and mobilize people to support and embrace the diversity of our communities in the areas of education, health, human rights, arts & culture, research and advocacy (non-governmental). Grants are made to projects that will have a demonstrable impact on the broader community.

The Foundation supports projects and organizations serving the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered, transsexual, intersexed, queer, questioning and two-spirited communities of the Greater Toronto Area (including Durham, York, Halton and Peel Regions) demonstrating a commitment to the mission of the Foundation. The activities of the grant proposal must take place between April 1, 2010 and March 31, 2011. See who we've funded in the past on our Who We Help page.

For projects that are limited to participation in or with Toronto’s 2009 Pride Week Festival, applicants are directed to the Pride Access & Diversity granting program maintained in partnership with Pride Toronto. The Access & Diversity Grant application process has separate guidelines. Applications for this program are available here.
