We’re DTF (Down to Fund). Are you?
HQ is a comprehensive health hub for cis men who love men, Two-Spirit, transgender, and AMAB (assigned male at birth) non-binary people, bringing sexual health, mental health, and social programs that offer holistic health, practical help, community connection, and a sense of belonging together under one roof.
HQ is built by our community, for our community.
It’s sex-positive. It’s shame-free. It’s affirming. And it’s working.

What your gift makes possible
Care at HQ is provided at no cost to service users. Public funding and donor support are essential to make that possible.

- $100 funds HIV care for one person
Helping a community member access knowledgeable, affirming care at HQ.
- $200 funds an individual or group counselling session
Mental health support that helps someone work through depression, anxiety, suicide, trauma, and addictions with professional care.
More people are reaching for care
We’re grateful for the support of Ontario’s Ministry of Health, which provides an important foundational funding for HQ’s work.
Since opening in 2022, the number of people we serve each year has grown nearly fivefold.
As more people turn to HQ for care, the gap between what public funding covers and what it takes to meet that need grows too.
Your support helps close that gap, so that HQ can keep sexual health, mental health, and social services accessible as demand continues to grow.
Care that sees the whole person
“I came to Canada on a visitor visa. When I became seriously ill, I didn’t have health insurance and struggled to find the care I needed. I was scared. Then I came to HQ.
HQ treated me with care and helped connect me to treatment for HIV and pneumonia, as well as immigration legal support.
Today, I have status in Canada, long-term HIV care, and a family doctor. I’m well. HQ helped me find care, compassion, and a way forward.” — Anonymous
