About the LOUD Foundation
The LOUD Foundation invests in future leaders of the Canadian 2SLGBTQ+ community. We believe that by supporting the development of students who possess drive, vision, compassion and knowledge, we can improve society and increase awareness of our diverse community. The GLBA Foundation, fondly known as The LOUD Foundation is a registered Charity: 805192549RR0001
Following our charitable Foundation being formed in 2007, we granted two LOUD Scholarships of $2,000 and one Little Sister's Bookstore Scholarship of $1,000.
In 2020 we raised the amount to $2500 and awarded 20.
In 2021 we increased to 21 awards, raising the total number of deserving students assisted since our inception to 125.
It is never enough. Please consider a sponsorship of a donation of any amount.
Applications open in November, close January 31st annually. MORE ON SCHOLARSHIPS
