December 13 Application Deadline: Sport Canada’s Community Sport for All Initiative Grant

November 28, 2024

Nordiq Canada is happy to announce that the Sport Canada Community Sport for All Initiative (CSAI) Grant is back! This funding supports sport initiatives for underrepresented groups, including Black, Indigenous, racialized, 2SLGBTQI+, low-income, newcomer populations, persons with disabilities, and seniors.

The catch is that Nordiq Canada must apply for money by Dec 23. Yes! That is a tight turnaround. Our hope is to apply for this limited-time funding by submitting an application with multiple projects already happening in our clubs and divisions across Canada, and projects planned for next year. If successful, Nordiq Canada would work with clubs and divisions to refine projects and create partnership agreements.

There are two timeframes for projects:

April 1, 2024 – March 31, 2025

Applications are open for projects you’ve already completed (since April 1, 2024) or plan to complete by March 31, 2025. Projects must already have funding in place as we may not find out we have been approved for any money before March 2025, or we may not receive any money at all! Examples of projects:

Para Nordic Development Camps
Para Nordic Classifier Expenses
Club programs that reach any of the underserved groups
Ski Playground events that reach any of the underserved groups

Apply Here

April 1, 2025 – March 31, 2026

In addition to the ideas above, you can also apply for funding to support future initiatives. Successful applicants will be notified by late winter 2025, giving you lots of time to prepare.

How to Apply

Submit your application to Nordiq Canada by December 13, 2024.
