The CAC offers grants to eligible sport organizations (NSOs, PTCRs, and the COPSI Network) that organize and operate programs and initiatives to increase the number of coaches who identify with one or more of the CAC’s Priority Groups. In the CAC’s Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Policy, Priority Groups include “women, visible minorities, persons with disabilities, Indigenous Peoples, and people that identify with the 2SLGBTQIA+ community.” A PTSO is eligible to apply with the endorsement or in partnership with the NSO partner.

Program Goal 

Support the development and implementation of projects by sport organizations to increase the diversity of coaches in Canada.  

Funding 

Grant recipients will receive up to $1,500 to support their project and must contribute a minimum of $500 to the project. All project activities must be completed between April 1, 2024, and March 1, 2025, and a final report must be completed by March 1, 2025.
