THUNDER BAY — A Tbaytel program that's supported 107 different projects with contributions totalling over $365,000 since its inception is back for 2025.
Applications opened Monday for a new round of funding from the Tbaytel For Good Community Fund.
The fund supports a wide variety of initiatives aimed at improving community spaces, services or programs.
A full list of eligibility criteria and details on the submission process can be found online.
"This initiative is a wonderful way to give back to the communities Tbaytel serves," said Agnes Notarbartolo, manager of communications and brand for the company.
"Each year, we eagerly anticipate the inspiring submissions that give individuals and organizations in our region the chance to enhance their communities. As a judge, I'm continually inspired by the incredible work being done by people and organizations."
Teachers, students, parents, volunteers, not-for-profit organizations, coaches, associations and community members may submit applications until May 20.
Grants of up to $10,000 are available for applicants located within Tbaytel's service area in Northern Ontario.
Submissions should include a 60-second video describing the project.
Entries will be reviewed by a diverse panel of community judges, with the winners to be announced in June.
In 2024, there were 63 applications, the largest number of entries since the Tbaytel For Good Community Fund was started in 2013.
