The Bill 7 Award Trust provides scholarships for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual, transgender, 2-spirited and queer youth who are in financial need and are enrolled in their first program at any post-secondary institution in Ontario. It is named after the 1986 Ontario legislation that extended the protection of the Human Rights Code to lesbians and gay men. Bill 7 Award is directed and administered by a Board of Trustees made up of representatives from two community groups: Community One and Supporting Our Youth (a program of Sherbourne Health Centre). By building a capital trust fund, Bill 7 Award is able to leverage contributions that are made to provide scholarships for many years to come. In recent years, Bill 7 Award has been able to grant 4 awards of $2,000 each to very deserving LGBTT2SQ students. Donations may be designated to be invested in the capital fund, disbursed in the following year, or this decision can be left to the discretion of the trustees.

SPECT, or Sterile Processing Education Charitable Trust, began with Christina Fast's vision of making a difference in West Africa. While volunteering on the Africa Mercy Ship, in Sierra Leone, Christina visited several local hospitals. The conditions she observed shocked her, and created within her a passion to "do something, as anything was better than nothing!" With the support of friends and family, SPECT was established and granted charitable status in the fall of 2013. Trustees of the organization include Olive Fast (chair), Jocelyn Wright (treasurer), and Torey Erdman (secretary). All donations go to supporting the mission of SPECT.
