Grant Guidelines & Resources
The Coaches BC Legacy Grant, initially developed by the Coaches Association of BC, is a project-based grant focused on reducing barriers for coaches in several key areas.
Originally named after Gord May, Tim Frick, Norm Olenick and Kathy Newman, these coaches and administrators made a tremendous impact on the education, professional standards and reduction of barriers for coaches in BC.
This grant has been adjusted in 2026 to align with the viaSport scorecard priorities of club standards for coaches. The primary purpose of this grant is to assist viaSport designated organizations in establishing and implementing a club coaching standard and using a participant centered design approach for their local clubs.
Who can apply?
Applications are open to viaSport Designated Provincial Sport Organizations (PSO) and Disability Sport Organizations (DSO).
