The Canada Post Foundation for Mental Health

For those of you who know that Isabella Mori and I organized Mental Health Camp ‘09 (and that we are already thinking about the Mental Health Camp ‘10 as well as helping out with the other MHCs worldwide), you know that mental health issues have a special place in my heart. I have to confess that, as much as I thought I was well-informed about mental health work in Canada, I had no clue that Canada Post had a foundation for mental health. And I had no clue that they offered grants, either! Hopefully they’ll deem Mental Health Camp as a worthy effort to support.

From their website:

The Canada Post Foundation for Mental Health was formed when Canada Post adopted mental health as its cause of choice in 2007. Thanks to the support of Canadians across the country and of Canada Post employees, customers and suppliers, more than $1 million was raised for the Foundation in 2008.

Canada Post has recently issued a special commemorative stamp to fund raise for mental health. Each booklet they sell generates $1 for the Foundation, or you can donate at your convenience. I was also very pleasantly surprised that Canada Post supports many other mental health-related charities. Awesome!
