Grants
Below are links to grant programs that may be of interest to Manitoba Curling Clubs
National Sport Trust Fund
CurlManitoba and its member facilities are able to establish projects through the National Sport Trust Fund, Manitoba Chapter, which is the Manitoba Chapter of the Canadian Council of Provincial & Territorial Sport Federations (CCPTSF, a Registered Canadian Amateur Athletic Association) with charitable statues that enables Canadian to receive a tax receipt for gifts to benefit amateur athletics. The Trust Fund, Sport Manitoba, and its members like CurlManitoba, all work together for the benefit of amateur sport in Manitoba. The program is administered by Sport Manitoba.
CurlManitoba and our member clubs can establish projects to ensure club fundraising activities for capital projects and other sport initiatives for the betterment of curling at your club can be tax deductible. By registering your project with the National Sport Trust Fund, your curling centre will have the opportunity to increase its fundraising potential.
