FY 2019-20 · 2019-08-30
Summary
This 43-month project will address organizational capacity needs of The Enchanté Network to support its incorporation and expansion from coast to coast, strengthen its governance, develop and implement a communication strategy, work on partnership development, organize its founding national general meeting and provide micro grants to support the capacity building of LGBTQ2 centres and establishment of other centres across the country.
The additional funding of $700,000 will allow for the continued expansion of the organization by further strengthening its communication practices, mobilizing and disseminating knowledge on its member’s capacity, as well as providing them with micro-granting and supports services, and fostering the networking and collaboration between LGBTQ2 service centres.

The additional funding of $105,000 will allow for the development of a robust, long-term strategic plan and a broad overview of the Canadian 2SLGBTQ+ community organizations landscape. The organization will also refine its internal processes to support the needs of its expanding membership and update its branding, communications, and marketing practices accordingly. The “Centre in a Box” service, a one-stop-shop providing foundational information and resources, will also be created in response to its member organizations’ requests for capacity building resources.
The additional funding of $175,000, PHASE 2, and the one-year extension will allow the Enchanté Network to reduce silos by convening 2SLGBTQI+ organizations for discussions on key issues, opportunities to network, and to share best practices. The capacity and sustainability of Canadian 2SLGBTQI+ organizations will be strengthened through the development and delivery of capacity building resources and programs. The Enchanté Network will also build capacity to advocate for the public policy conditions necessary for 2SLGBTQI+ organizations to thrive by consulting 2SLGBTQI+ organizations to determine their policy priorities, building key public policy skills and developing an advocacy strategy.
