CEC GENDER EQUITY GRANT Program
CEC is excited to introduce a new Gender Equity Grant Program to support initiatives aimed at increasing participation of girls and women in competition climbing in Canada. More details will be available shortly.
Canadian Women and Sport – WISE FUND GRANT
A lack of funding dedicated to creating equitable opportunities for women and girls to participate and lead in the sport system is a barrier to achieving gender equity in Canada.
Since 2004, Canadian Women and Sport has awarded $250,000 in grants through our WISE Fund to leaders and organizations across Canada to help address this gap.
With the support of Sport Canada, the 2021 WISE Fund will grant 30 organizations $2500 to advance gender equity in Canadian sport.
