The BC Amateur Sport Fund is raising funds to give amateur sports organizations the vital support they need to survive and rebuild in the aftermath of the recent floods in British Columbia.
You can designate your donation to a specific community, sport or club, or make a general donation which will go to the greatest need selected by Sport BC. You cannot donate to support a specific individual.
Sport BC will match $10,000 in donations to the Flood Relief Project. Sport BC will match every dollar raised up to $500 for each PSO and affiliate, up to a total of $10,000. Match funding will be prioritized for organizations most affected by the flooding.
Your donation can help community sport organizations across the province with costs including rebuilding facilities and replacing equipment, rental of temporary facilities and travel costs. If you have questions or would like more information about how your sports group can raise funds with BCASF, contact Andy Price at andy.price@sportbc.com.
BC Alpine member clubs do not need to register with BCASF to fundraise with the Flood Relief Fund. Organizations can access funds designated to them by providing quotes or invoices for costs associated with the flooding. BCASF prefers to pay for those costs directly to your supplier. Eligible costs must be to the exclusive benefit of amateur sport and may include replacement equipment, facilities repair and renovation, rental fees and travel costs. BCASF will hold back 5% of all donations to cover overhead and administrative costs.
The BC Amateur Sport Fund is the BC chapter of the Canadian Council of Provincial & Territorial Sport Federations, a Registered Canadian Amateur Athletic Association with charitable status (CRA number 88938 6868 RR0001).The BC Amateur Sport Fund is administered by Sport BC to promote participation, competition, and governance in amateur sport across Canada.
