Support Us!

Queer Ontario is a not-for-profit organization operating on funds provided to us by our generous and capable supporters. Your donation will be channeled directly into our projects and operations, which will help us continue our educational and reformist work.

Unfortunately, because our mandate is deeply political, we cannot acquire charitable status and, as such, will be unable to issue you with a charitable tax receipt. We encourage your support in light of this systemic shortfall.

You can use our one-time donation option as many times as you would like:

Or, you can become a sustaining donor by contributing to Queer Ontario on a monthly basis.

We appreciate your ongoing generosity and support -- The Queer Ontario Steering Committee.
