Supporting Our Selves

Founded in 1980 as the Gay Community Appeal, Community One Foundation has from the start raised funds for an array of community projects and organisations, with the organisation and its name evolving along with the community itself. What started as a predominantly white, middle-class collective redefined itself during the AIDS crisis in the 1980s and Nineties and continues to adapt today to better meet the needs of our Toronto communities.
