Bobby Goldsmith Foundation
Concentration RiskGiving Philosophy
BGF operates as a direct service provider rather than a grant-making foundation. Their philosophy centers on holistic, person-centred support that empowers clients to live autonomously. They believe in meeting people where they are—providing tailored services from case work and case management to community support programs—while advocating for policy changes that address social determinants of health. Their approach emphasizes peer connection, reducing stigma, and improving quality of life as the 'fourth 90' alongside treatment targets.
Tips for Applicants
BGF is primarily a service delivery organization, not a grant-maker. Organizations seeking to partner should position collaboration around shared goals—reducing HIV stigma, improving access for priority populations (First Nations, CALD communities), or expanding community support capacity. Individual applicants should note BGF provides direct client services; those seeking support should contact them directly as clients rather than through grant applications. The foundation values lived experience and peer connection in their workforce.
