CAN Fund offers 2 applications a year to which summer, winter, able-bodied and para athletes representing Canada on the world stage can apply.
Each athlete is eligible to receive up to $16,000 a year from CAN Fund ($8000 per application) and gives the money directly to the athlete for them to use towards their journeys.
Imagine having an innate athletic talent, an unwavering work ethic and world class performances, but your country still expects you to come up with the financial means to afford the resources you need to be an athlete at the highest level. The best athletic talent in our country do not want a handout; they need “seed capital” as many are going into debt to represent Canada. With your support, CAN Fund changes these circumstances for our athletes.
As funds are raised, financial support is distributed to successful applicants on a continuous basis. The number of athletes that can be supported each application all depends on the amount of funds raised.
