True Sport Youth Fund
The Pauw Foundation True Sport Youth Fund was launched in 2016 to assist Bow Valley youth recreation organizations and clubs with annual financial support. This year a new partnership between the Pauw Foundation, True Sport Foundation, and our local Bow Valley True Sport & Recreation Council will oversee the delivery of this sport funding. The 2022 application deadline is April 8, 2022, with $35,000 earmarked to non-profit sport and recreation organizations throughout the Bow Valley.
The Pauw Foundation True Sport Youth Fund will review applications submitted by not-for-profit community sport organizations that have developed or are developing strategies to increase inclusion and accessibility of sport to youth in the community and that exemplify the seven True Sport Principles of Go For It, Play Fair, Respect Others, Keep it Fun, Stay Healthy, Include Everyone, Give Back. The True Sport Foundation is a registered Canadian charity that is committed to ensuring that sport makes a positive contribution to Canadian society by advancing the benefits or values-based and principle-driven sport in Canada.
