Backgrounder – Advancing equality, safety and security for 2SLGBTQI+ people
Backgrounder
Through the 2SLGBTQI+ Projects Fund, projects that address discrimination, build supports, and challenge harmful norms have reached more than 39,000 2SLGBTQI+ people and their allies across the country. Through the 2SLGBTQI+ Community Capacity Fund, WAGE has strengthened the way 2SLGBTQI+ organizations run their services and networks, reaching more than 10,000 people across Canada.
As part of Budget 2025 investments, 65 organizations will receive $9.9 million to strengthen the 2SLGBTQI+ community sector and support initiatives that promote safety and foster meaningful change.
