The Bell Built Grant is back in 2015, with a twist. In past years Bell has helped fund three $33,000 trail projects constructed by IMBA’s Trail Solutions company. But this year, only one trail project will win, but they’ll get a whopping $100,000 grant!

IMBA and Bell will be taking initial applications from now through March 6th. For more information, check out this infographic:
