Eligibility and Requirements
Who can apply
- A Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) registered charity or qualified donee
- Must not have received funding from the TELUS Community Board you’re applying to in the last 12 months
Your program must:
- Support youth up to age 29 in Canada experiencing obstacles to reaching their full potential
- Focus on health or education

The only exception is the TELUS Barrie and Central Ontario Community Board, which provides grants of up to $10,000.
Preference is given to programs that best demonstrate how using technology can increase the effectiveness of their program to make positive impacts on communities. Examples include:
- Automating or digitizing your programs to better support the communities you serve
- Improving your program’s digital capabilities, such as creating and delivering online learning curriculum
- Building sensory-friendly environments for clients with disabilities.
Important note: Software products like Microsoft Office, Zoom and Google Suite, along with smartphones and tablets, do not qualify as technology in this context.
Applying to Canadian Community Boards
- Registered charities can apply in the same year to any TELUS Canadian Community Board as long as the applicant’s program is operating within and directly impacts youth in that Community Board’s region
- A separate application must be completed for each Community Board region.
