2025 Mental Health & wellbeing Grants
The new 3-year Mental Health & Wellbeing Grant Program allows contributions from the wellness fund to support initiatives that safeguard and improve the mental health and wellbeing of vulnerable groups in our community.
Wellbeing Starts with Community
The new 3-year Mental Health and Wellbeing Grants Program supports a web of local, grassroots initiatives making a positive difference in this space.
The program is accepting expressions of interest until March 7, 2025. This grant program will bring together individuals with knowledge and experience throughout the Bow Valley to identify funding opportunities for new and existing community-based mental health projects. The launch of this initiative has been made possible through generous contributions from seed donors to the BCF Mental Health and Wellbeing Fund.
Upon review of the Expressions of Interest, applicants who may be eligible to receive funding will be invited to apply on a rolling basis for the BCF Mental Health and Wellbeing Grants that will be open from March 1, 2025 to March 15, 2025.
Powering Progress: The Fund Behind the Program
Thank you to generous contributions from donors to the BCF Mental Health and Wellbeing Fund. Their support is crucial in enabling the foundation to provide essential funding for new initiatives and existing programs to enhance the mental health and wellbeing of our community's vulnerable groups. By fostering a network of collaboration and resource-sharing, the BCF Mental Health and Wellbeing Grants Program aims to create lasting positive change and promote a healthier, more resilient community for all.
The Banff Canmore Foundation Mental Health and Wellbeing Grant Program plays a crucial role in making the Banff Mental Health and Addictions Week a reality. Without this support, none of this would have been achievable."
