MONTREAL – Bell has launched its annual Bell Let's Talk Community Fund for 2019, with $2 million in grants available for local mental health leaders improving access to care in communities throughout Canada.
The 2019 application period runs until March 15 and all 2019 grants will be disbursed before December 31, 2019. Registered charities are invited to apply for a grant up to $25,000 to help fund local mental health programs. All applications are reviewed by a committee of mental health experts from across Canada.
The annual fund has supported more than 500 community organizations since 2011.
"Bell Let's Talk Community Fund has supported local mental health initiatives in every corner of the country, from the largest urban centres to some of Canada's most remote communities," said Bell Let's Talk chair Mary Deacon, in Friday’s announcement. "Alongside the major health care and research institutions supported by Bell Let's Talk, these local and grassroots initiatives are helping to improve the lives of people living with mental illness within hundreds of Canadian communities."
