  • Founded in 1980, the LGCA or "the Appeal" (as it is known locally), is the only organisation of its kind in Canada that raises funds directly for the LGBT community and directly funds similar projects through grants. The Appeal raises funds through an annual giving program and by holding special initiatives. Their mandate includes funding for projects and programs in the areas of education, health, human rights, and arts and culture. Since its inception, the LGCA has raised and donated over $2 million for groups such as the Lesbian Gay Bi Trans Youthline, the Metropolitan Community Church of Toronto, Buddies in Bad Times Theatre, Toronto Pride Day Committee, PFLAG Toronto, Gays and Lesbians of African Descent (GLAD), the Chinese Canadian National Council, Salaam Queer Muslim Community, The 519 Community Centre, the Inside Out Film Festival, and several gay-straight alliances in various high schools in the GTA. After celebrating its 25th anniversary in November 2005, the LGCA's 2006 grant season is currently underway: more money is expected to be given to deserving organisations/individuals than in previous years.
