Spotlight Grant
Canadian Women & Sport’s Spotlight Grant aims to shine a light on girls who typically don’t get the access, support, or funding they need to fully participate in sport and physical activity.
Grant Eligibility
This grant is for community sport and physical activity organizations who are working to remove barriers and expand opportunities for girls from the following communities:
- 2SLGBTQIA+
- Black
- Indigenous, First Nations, Inuit, Métis, Other
- Racialized
- Low-income
- Persons with a disability
- Newcomers (in Canada 5 years or less)
To be eligible for the Spotlight Grant, a minimum of
0%
of participants in the initiative must identify with or belong to the communities listed above.
Canadian Women & Sport recognizes that the commonly used definition of sport doesn’t give space to all forms of physical activity and recreational programming. Our definition of sport includes cultural programs, land-based programs, play and game-based programs, as well as programs that support reconnecting with one’s identity. We welcome applications that support these types of programming.
Two levels of funding are available: $5,000 and $15,000.
The Spotlight Grant is part of the Community Sport for All initiative which seeks to remove barriers and increase sport participation rates for underrepresented communities. This project has been made possible in part by the Government of Canada.
