The Rally Together Fund was developed to provide one–time recovery funding for amateur sport organizations who have seen a decrease in membership or volunteerism through COVID–19. This fund will help to ensure that B.C.’s amateur sport system continues to provide opportunities for sport development and recovery as well as the significant community and economic benefits. The Rally Together Fund is supported by Province of B.C. and administered through viaSport British Columbia.
Funding is available for non–profit provincial sport organizations, disability sport organizations, multi–sport organizations and local sport organizations. Specifically, the grant is intended to support the development of programs focused on rebuilding sport participation ($2 Million) and the recruitment and retention of volunteers ($2 Million).
