JACKSON, Miss. – July 30, 2024 – Regions Bank on Tuesday announced $800,000 in financial support to Canopy Children’s Solutions, Mississippi’s largest nonprofit provider of behavioral health, educational and family support solutions. Regions also served as a presenting sponsor of Canopy’s 2024 Children’s Mental Health Summit.
The funding was facilitated over the last 12 months through Regions’ participation in two Mississippi tax credit programs – the Children’s Promise program and the Eligible Transitional Housing Organizations (ETHO) program. Canopy’s services directly complement Regions’ community engagement priorities, which include supporting organizations that foster greater education and workforce readiness. Additional priorities for the bank include supporting economic and community development initiatives and financial wellness.
The bank’s financial support is designed to help Canopy in its commitment to connecting children in Mississippi with essential care needs. Services include behavioral health and education support for children, as well as family-support needs.

Regions also presented the 10th annual Children’s Mental Health Summit. Each year, the conference aims to gather community leaders and mental health professionals to cultivate conversations and use tools to create meaningful impact for children and families facing mental health challenges.
