Community-Based Research Centre Society

Published purpose

Through this 42-month project, Community-Based Research Centre Society will build its capacity to serve 2SLGBTQIA+ communities, organizations, and networks in our collective efforts to advance 2SLGBTQIA+ health and equality. Working alongside 2SLGBTQIA+ communities and partners, CBRC will undertake a comprehensive and collaborative strategic planning process to identify its strategic focus and priorities through 2027. It will develop a recruitment, compensation, and performance management strategy centered on justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion principles to attract and retain diverse, talented, and passionate 2SLGBTQIA+ staff members. Rooted in anti-racist principles, CBRC will work with partners to develop and implement a capacity-building learning module to help organizations work more collaboratively and effectively, maximizing impact. With the Supplemental funds and extension provided in early 2026, the Community-Based Research Centre Society (CBRC) will establish the implementation framework of their 5-year strategic plan. In addition, they will build organizational capacity of three key foundational components: Board development, fund diversification, and brand visibility and recognition. Through this, they will further advance Gender Equality.
