CPC launches 2024-25 Paralympic Sport Development Fund

The Canadian Paralympic Committee (CPC) is officially accepting applications for the 2024-25 Paralympic Sport Development Fund, a granting program that supports the growth of quality Para sport initiatives across Canada.

The Paralympic Sport Development Fund is made possible through funding from the Paralympic Foundation of Canada.

The Paralympic Sport Development Fund provides grants for local sport organizations, clubs, and programs that contribute to athlete and coach development along the Paralympic pathway. Funding can support initiatives related to recruitment, coaching, competition, club development, training camps, or other programming that enhances capacity to support the development and experience of athletes and coaches.

Please visit Paralympic.ca/funding-opportunities for more information, including the application form and eligibility requirements. The deadline to submit applications is June 28, 2024.

CPC would also like to encourage innovative projects that increase connection, collaboration, and sharing of knowledge across regions, provinces/territories, and/or multiple sports.

“A healthy and growing Paralympic sport system in Canada relies on quality programming, opportunities, and investment,” said Karen O’Neill, CEO, Canadian Paralympic Committee. “There are many wonderful organizations throughout the country who do important work in supporting Para athletes and coaches, and we are pleased to be able to invest in quality Paralympic programming through the Paralympic Sport Development Fund.”

Funding amounts of between $5,000 and $15,000 will be available. In 2023, 18 organizations received grants for a total distribution of $200,000.

The 2023-24 Paralympic Sport Development Fund provided a $10,000 grant to Equestrian Ontario to assist with the operation of these clinics. Read more about how the grant helped the program.
