SportsFunder Youth Sport Travel Assistance support is directed to provincial sport organizations and BC School Sports member sports to help cover in-province travel expenses for athletes who face higher travel costs because of their geographical location.

There are two different types of travel assistance:

School Sport Travel Assistance

This support is administered by BC School Sports to support travel to and from sports’ provincial championships. Funding is directed to Parent’s Advisory Councils through pre-determined funding levels.

Because this support cannot accommodate all school travel needs, BC School Sports has an external application process with funding based on location, size and travel needs of provincial championships. BC Schools Sport members apply to BC School Sports for access to School Sport Travel Assistance.

Provincial Sport Organization Youth Travel Assistance

This support is directed to Provincial Sport Organizations in government’s Provincial Sport Organization Core and Project Funding Program, administered by Sport BC to support under 18 members’ travel to and from in-province training and competition. Youth members or clubs contact their Provincial Sport Organization to apply for this funding.

Because this funding cannot accommodate all sport travel needs, Provincial Sport Organizations will direct funding through an internal process based on each sport’s funding allocation, competition and training structures, needs and priorities. Provincial Sport Organizations develop and communicate to their members a distribution/access plan based on defensible, transparent and predetermined standards. All of these follow broad policies outlined in SportsFunder PSO Youth Member Travel Assistance Guiding Principles (available on the SportsFunder Lottery Overview page.
