Cameco’s Fund for Mental Health opens 2026 application period with $28,000 available for Blind River area mental health initiatives

For the fifth consecutive year, Cameco is inviting local charities, community groups and organizations to apply for funding through the Cameco Fund for Mental Health. This year, over $28,000 is available to help expand local programs, improve access to mental health resources and support Blind River area residents and families. Applications open on November 13, 2026.

The funds available through this year’s Cameco Fund for Mental Health were made possible by the tremendous support received at Cameco’s fifth annual Charity Golf Tournament, held in May at Huron Pines Golf and Country Club. Thanks to a sold-out tournament and the generosity of sponsors, participants and community donors, the event raised $5,000 more than in 2025.

Since its launch in 2022, the Cameco Fund for Mental Health has raised more than $100,000 and has provided funding to 19 local mental health programs and initiatives, helping strengthen support across the community.

“Supporting community mental health initiatives is an important part of building a safe, healthy and resilient community,” said Terry Davis, general manager of Cameco’s Blind River Refinery. “By helping ensure residents have access to the resources and support they need, Cameco is investing in the well-being of individuals and families across the Blind River area.”

The Cameco Fund for Mental Health is managed through the Saskatoon Community Foundation. Applications will be thoughtfully reviewed in January 2027 by a panel of local mental health professionals and Cameco representatives. Registered charities, non-profits and organized groups are encouraged to apply online by 5 p.m. on December 10, 2026.
