2Spirit Manitoba Inc.

Published purpose

This 29-month project will strengthen the capacity and networks of 2Spirit Manitoba Inc. to advance LGBTQ2 equality. This will be achieved by establishing an advisory committee, building managerial capacity, ensuring long-term financial sustainability, and engaging with the community. At the end of the project, the organization will have increased its capacity to establish formal and informal equality seeking networks and have the ability to share this expertise with other LGBTQ2 groups and individuals in Manitoba. The supplemental funds will be used to build long-term financial stability through organizational development planning and activities inclusive of identifying sources of core funding; and to increase board capacity through the creation of a board skills matrix, a review of onboarding materials, and professional development training catered to boards. The supplemental funds will also be used by the organization to develop their approach to advocacy and outreach through the creation of an action plan, strategic partnering, modernizing the organization’s website and updating branding.
