FrancoQueer

Published purpose

Through this 40-month project, FrancoQueer will build stronger capacity of 2SLGBTQI+ community organizations and networks to advance 2SLGBTQI+ equality. It will address the needs to institutionalize a decolonial organizational culture that also stands in solidarity, to build FrancoQueer’s project management capacity, and to develop member engagement across Ontario. The project will include assessing and reviewing the human resources tools; developing and ensuring the sustainability of good project management practices; organizing local planning meetings throughout various Franco-Ontarian communities; developing tools for community engagement; and building solidarity between various equity movements, including with Anglophone organizations. With the supplemental funds and extension provided in early 2026, FrancoQueer will strengthen its cross-sector partnerships and 2SLGBTQIA+ representation in French-speaking Ontario, implement a plan to safeguard sensitive data, and enhance its capacity to maintain, organize and transfer knowledge. In doing so, the organization will make a greater contribution to advancing gender equality.
