The Sport and Recreation Branch does not provide funding directly to individual athletes/clubs & teams.
Provincial government funding for sport is generally targeted to province-wide sport and multi-sport organizations. 2010 Legacies Now is contracted to allocate government funding for sport and physical activity organizations and initiatives.
Provincial Sport Organizations (such as Basketball BC and Soccer BC), for example, are funded through 2010 Legacies Now's Core and Project Funding Program administered by Sport BC.
Community clubs that are members of Provincial Sport Organizations are supported through the services provided by those organizations - programs such as overseeing provincial championships, training camps and clinics for coaches and athletes, providing sanctioning and insurance, and newsletters.
Community clubs seeking funding may be eligible for gaming revenues (for example, through direct access to gaming revenues). For more information or to apply go to the Gaming Policy and Enforcement Branch (Ministry of Housing and Social Development).
