The Rainbow Resilience Fund

The Rainbow Resilience Fund
Our Goal:
We all deserve the right to access the services we need to thrive.
But hate is on the rise in Canada, fueled by divisive rhetoric and misinformation. Queer, Trans, and 2Spirit organizations are on the frontlines of this moment, providing life-saving services to some of society’s most vulnerable communities.
Our Rainbow Resilience Fund granted $535,325.44 to 22 2SLGBTQI+ across Canada. To equip Queer, Trans, and 2Spirit organizations with the resources to prevent and respond to hate crimes.
The Enchanté Network is Canada’s National 2SLGBTQI+ Association – and that’s why we are investing in real, tangible support for frontline 2SLGBTQI+ organizations across the country.
Our Approach:
Guided by an intersectional approach that includes race, indigeneity, and disability, we acknowledge the unique challenges faced by individuals and communities at the intersections of these identities. Our framework ensures that the fund’s resources are distributed equitably, addressing systemic disparities and uplifting marginalized voices.
We strive to create a more inclusive and just society by centering the experiences and needs of those who have historically been marginalized and disproportionately impacted by discrimination and violence.
