Delta Hospital and Community Health Foundation has launched a new initiative aimed at supporting mental health and addictions services for local youth and adults.

The Caring for our Community Grant Program "marks a significant step forward in DHCH Foundation’s mission to advocate, fund, and inspire outstanding healthcare at Delta Hospital and throughout the broader community," according to a press release.
 
"With a vision of delivering the best possible care today and for generations to come, the foundation is continuing to expand its impact beyond Delta Hospital walls to support community-based health initiatives."

For the 2025/2026 granting cycle, the foundation will focus on funding programs and projects that promote mental well-being and/or provide important addictions services for youth and adults.

Eligible non-profit organizations serving Delta residents are invited to apply for grants ranging from $10,000 to $50,000, with the option to submit multi-year proposals for up to three years.

“We are excited to launch this new granting program as a way to further support the health and well-being of our community,” DHCHF CEO Lisa Hoglund said in a press release.

“By investing in local organizations that are doing critical work in mental health and addictions, we are helping to build a healthier, more resilient Delta.”

To qualify, applicants must be non-profit organizations with a B.C. society number or charitable registration number, and their initiatives must directly benefit Delta residents.

The foundation encourages letters of intent (LOI) from organizations whose work aligns with its mission and vision, and whose programs demonstrate measurable impact in the areas of mental health and addictions. Deadline to submit a LOI is Wednesday, Sept. 10, 2025.
