December 11, 2024

Value

Varies

Description

The National Sport Organization (NSO) component of the Sport Support Program provides financial support to eligible organizations for activities that enhance the Canadian sport system. The objectives of the SSP are to:

  • increase opportunities to participate in quality sport activities for all Canadians, including underrepresented groups;
  • increase the capacity of the Canadian sport system to systematically achieve world-class results at the highest international competitions;
  • contribute to the provision of technical sport leadership within the Canadian sport system; and,
  • advance Canadian interests, values and ethics in sport at home and abroad.

Eligible Applicants

To be considered eligible for funding your organization must be a federally or provincially/territorially incorporated not-for-profit organization in good standing which meets the definition of NSO:

A national sport organization is the single national governing body recognized by the International Federation (in the case of Paralympic sports, this could include the International Paralympic Committee) for its sport including for all disciplines and events, or a member of a recognized Canadian umbrella organization that serves this purpose. It is an organization whose programs and services are nationwide extending beyond a province and territory. For NSO funding purposes, sport is defined as a regulated form of physical activity, organized in a competitive format and structure, sanctioned by the recognized governing body for the sport, at either the national or international/world level and requires the onsite presence of officials sanctioned by the sport governing body to apply the rules objectively, fairly and consistently for the purpose of determining a winner.

Eligible Expenses

Eligible expenses are grouped into funding categories. Only cash expenses are eligible; these may include:

  • Administration and operations
    • Costs related to the management of your organization.
  • Official languages
    • Costs to ensure your organization’s capacity to comply with official language requirements and promote the use of English and French in its operations, including providing programs, services, events and communications materials in both official languages, fostering bilingual capacity, and overcoming language-based barriers.
  • Management and administrative staff salaries, fees and benefits
    • Costs to employ or contract part-time and full-time staff.
  • Coaching and technical leadership salaries and professional development
