"Bell Let's Talk is proud to support these important organizations and the much needed work they do to help people living with mental illness in Montréal," said Martin Spalding, Bell Media's VP and GM of Québec Radio and Local TV, in Monday’s announcement. "Improving access to care within the community is a priority for Bell Let's Talk. With the addition of these new partners, the Bell Let's Talk Community Fund has provided grants to 26 organizations across Québec this year."
The $1-million annual Bell Let's Talk community fund makes donations to community-based mental health initiatives to improve access to care throughout Canada. Each year, registered charities can apply for a grant up to $25,000, and all submitted applications are reviewed by a committee of mental health experts from across the country. Applications for the 2018 fund will open in January.
