RBC Royal Bank has partnered with Community One Foundation to create the RBC Community Rainbow Grant. This grant is available to a registered charity for up to $10,000. The RBC Community Rainbow Grant should focus on one or more of the following key areas:
  • Seed new and innovative projects to combat discrimination on the basis of sexual/gender identity and create an atmosphere of respect and acceptance,
  • Support needed but underfunded services to LGBT individuals and families, and
  • Provide programming specifically aimed at supporting newcomers to Canada who have identified themselves with the LGBT community.

Community One Foundation thanks RBC Royal Bank for its strong commitment to supporting the LGBTTIQQ2S community in the Greater Toronto Area.
