Residents and community groups in Thunder Bay and across Northern Ontario are invited to apply for a share of $30,000 in project funding through the newly launched 2026 For Good Community Fund from Tbaytel.
The program offers grants of up to $10,000 per submission to support local initiatives. Eligible applicants include students, teachers, parents, coaches, volunteers, and non-profit organizations. To apply, participants must submit a project proposal along with a 60-second video explaining their initiative. The application window is open until May 20, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. EST, and winners will be announced on June 19, 2026.
Since the fund began in 2013, it has provided $396,434 to 113 different projects across 25 communities in Northern Ontario. Agnes Notarbartolo, the company’s manager of communication and brand, noted that the selection process celebrates the dedication of individuals working to improve their neighborhoods.
As a municipally owned utility, the company reinvests profits into the region. In 2024, it provided $19.5 million in dividends to the City of Thunder Bay, which helped reduce local property taxes by approximately 8.25 percent.
