Community One Foundation

Community One Foundation, formerly the Lesbian & Gay Community Appeal, is a non-profit foundation based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, that builds and supports individuals and groups that enhance the development of the LGBTTIQQ2S communities in the Greater Toronto Area, including Durham, Halton, Peel and York Regions.

The LGCA was a response to the lack of financial support for community projects and organizations.

The appeal raised funds through an annual giving program and by holding special initiatives.

Their mandate includes funding for projects and programs in the areas of education, health, human rights, and arts and culture.

The foundation is a public foundation and registered charity, operating primarily through individual donations, with the exception of the RBC Community Rainbow Grant and the Steinert & Ferreiro Award[clarification needed].
