Red Deer Games Foundation Application for Financial Assistance

Athlete Grant Criteria Guidelines

TO BE CONSIDERED, APPLICANTS MUST:

• Reside within the City of Red Deer, Red Deer County or within a 50-kilometer radius of Red Deer.
• Reside in the area for at least one year prior to date of application.
• Grants are only provided to individual athletes and are not available for teams or organizations. Athletes in team sports will be considered if they are participating as a member of a provincial or national team in their sport. Alternatively, athletes that are participating in a team sport may apply provided they can demonstrate identifiable elite development potential equivalent to success at a provincial or regional level. This potential must include accomplishments that serve to set the individual apart from his/her teammates or fellow competitors.
• Funding programs are prioritized for athletes that are still in a developmental stage of their career but do not yet qualify for funding from their Provincial or National Sport Organization.
• Multiple applications from any club will be referred to the coach for prioritization and personal contact may be made with the athlete and/or coach and parents if additional information is needed to process the application.
• Payment can be made in advance of any sponsored activity with an understanding that payment would be refunded to the Foundation if the funds were not expended in the manner identified in the application.
• Athletes must be affiliated either through their local club or as an individual to a sport with a Provincial Sport Association recognized by the Sport, Physical Activity and Recreation branch of the Alberta Government. Either the athlete and/or the athlete’s sport club or organization must be affiliated with or be a member in good standing with their sport’s Provincial Sport Association.
