Grants Program
Every year, BC Soccer awards Grants (limit one per fiscal year per member organization) to help support Strategic Plan initiatives, while fostering alignment between Canada Soccer’s Club Licencing Program and other national initiatives. These $1,000 Development grants provide additional support to organizations while focusing on removing potential barriers to meeting, or exceeding, the Canada Soccer Club Licensing Standards.
Development grants may assist organizations in creating a more inclusive and welcoming environment for participants in line with Canada Soccer’s Guide to Accessibility & Inclusion. This Development Grant Guidelines document provides further details. To apply for a Development Grant, you can either complete this form or contact BC Soccer's Club Engagement Coordinator, Lucas Castro.
