Please note that the application deadline dates have changed!!! Deadline dates are now January 15th, May 15th and September 15th.
The goal of Amateur Sport Committee at the Parks Foundation Calgary (PFC) is to promote amateur sport development and enhance sport participation for Calgarians of all ages.
Since its inception in 1985, the Amateur Sport Committee has awarded more than $75 million dollars worth of grants for upwards of 370 sport related projects.
The Amateur Sport Committee is comprised of a group of committed volunteers who distribute the amateur sports funds in a fair and efficient manner targeting the sporting needs of citizens of Calgary.
AMSP Committee Chair Dave Ardell was on hand to represent PFC, The Saddledome Foundation and The Calgary Flames Hockey as the new fitness centre at Cardel Place was unveiled.
The project was made possible through the support of several funders, including a grant from the Amateur Sport Grant Program.
Amateur Sport Grant Program
The Amateur Sport Grant Program was created as part of the Saddledome Foundation’s commitment to establish an Olympic legacy from the operations of the Saddledome.
The continued success of the program is possible through a joint community partnership with the Calgary Flames Hockey Club, The Saddledome Foundation, and the Parks Foundation Calgary.
Any qualified non-profit organization, club, or league can apply for a grant – as can any group endorsed by a local, provincial or national umbrella sports organization.
The Amateur Sport Committee reviews and evaluates requests three times a year. Application deadline dates are January 15th, May 15th and September 15th. Funding decisions are based on: demonstrated need for the project, need for financial assistance, benefits and unique qualities of the project, and the ability of the applicant organization to assume associated operating costs. Eligible capital projects might include the construction or renovation of sports facilities, or the purchase of sport-related equipment.
Alberta Horse Trials
Also under the umbrella of the Parks Foundation Calgary is the Art Smith Amateur Sport Legacy Fund. This fund is a joint effort of the Calgary Booster Club and the Amateur Sport Committee. Their vision is to sustain an endowment fund to ensure Calgary’s amateur athletes will have the facilities and funds to keep on playing their game.
