the foundation

In 2010, the Pride and Remembrance Foundation was established as a charitable foundation.

The Pride and Remembrance Association was instrumental for its incorporation.

The Foundation's mandate is to provide financial support to registered charities that benefit the 2SLGBTQ+ community. These benefits may include individual projects, services and/or activities that provide health, educational, legal, social athletic, cultural or other charitable benefits. Since 2010, the Foundation has supported the AIDS Committee of Toronto, the Triangle Program of the Toronto District School Board, the 519 Church Street Community Centre, the Canadian Lesbian and Gay Archives, the LGBT Youthline, HALCO, and the Windsor Pride Committee. 

The Foundation works closely with the Association in support of the pride & remembrance run.  The Foundation welcomes creative applications from charitable organizations that are interested in partnering with the Foundation and Association in promoting and supporting the annual pride & remembrance run.

The Pride and Remembrance Foundation accepts grant applications from 2SLGBTQ+ charities anytime. Applications are reviewed May 31 and November 30 each calendar year.  If your application is accepted, you will be asked to attend an in-person meeting with members of the Foundation’s board of directors to provide further information or details and/or to clarify aspects of your application.
