MONTREAL — Bell Canada announced today grant applications are now being accepted for the 2021 Bell Let’s Talk Community Fund, a $2-million annual program which supports registered charities working to improve access to mental health care at the local level in communities throughout Canada.
“Underscoring our commitment to enable action in mental health everywhere, the Bell Let’s Talk Community Fund has supported almost 800 local and grassroots organizations in every province and territory since its launch in 2011,” said Mary Deacon, chair of Bell Let’s Talk, in a press release. “As demand for help has surged due to Covid-19, supporting mental health action at the community level matters now more than ever.”
Through the Community Fund, Bell Let’s Talk provides grants up to $25,000 to registered charities to support local mental health programs.
