Thank you for your incredible interest in the Tegan and Sara Foundation’s Community Grants. Applications are now closed. All applicants will be notified of funding status during the week of April 15.

If you were unable to apply in this round of funding, please stay tuned to our social media for additional opportunities in the future.

Our community needs our help.

The Tegan and Sara Foundation remains committed to uplifting the LGBTQ+ community, especially as our current times have left queer people uniquely disadvantaged.

From the closing of queer small businesses, strained access to health services for LGBTQ+ people, to the inability for LGBTQ+ youth to attend school, our community is looking for ways to support, heal, gather and strengthen.

Our goal is to fund the projects meeting the immediate needs of those most affected, whether through making resources for the community available digitally, creating spaces online for art, positivity and conversation, and more.

We want to hear about small, and especially youth-led, initiatives that will impact their communities, and just need a little help. LGBTQ+ people need support and investment in their futures now more than ever. Tegan and Sara Foundation Community Grants can help to start meeting the needs of your community now.

This opportunity is currently limited to the US & Canada. Please stay tuned to our social media for internationally available opportunities down the line.
