As part of Bell’s commitment to taking a strong stance against racism, social injustice, and the impacts on ethno-cultural communities, the Bell Let’s Talk Diversity Fund supports the mental health and well-being of members of Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour (BIPOC) communities across Canada. The Bell Let’s Talk Diversity Fund funds organizations with projects aimed at reducing the stigma around mental illness and/or increasing access to culturally informed mental health and well-being support for BIPOC communities in Canada.

Eligibility Requirements

Preference will be given to organizations that are:

Led by an individual who is a member of the BIPOC community they support (e.g., Executive Director).
Managed by a board, council, or executive committee predominantly consisting of individuals who reflect the community they support.

Preference will also be given to projects that:

Have a duration of 2-5 years.
Clearly articulate how the proposed project will advance the mental health and well-being of the community it serves through anti-stigma efforts and/or increased access to care.
Offer services that are evidence-based and culturally informed.
Identify community impacts, specifying the number or increased number of individuals helped through the project, and outline how these impacts will be measured.

Grant Terms

The Fund will award grants of up to $200,000, payable over 2-5 years. The Bell Let’s Talk Diversity Fund may provide a grant amount that is less than the amount requested; in such cases, the grantee must submit a revised budget within the approved amount. Stewardship reports are due annually, and subsequent payments are conditional on the satisfactory completion of the annual stewardship report.
