Obtaining Funding

The branch does not provide funding directly to individuals, teams or clubs.

Instead, the Government funds sport and recreation at a provincial level – through provincial and multi-sport recreation organizations such as Soccer BC, PacificSport, BC Special Olympics, etc.

This funding is provided to these organizations through a transfer of $6 million to the 2010 Legacies Now Society.

Funding from the SportsFunder Lottery is also directed to provincial and multi-sport organizations, which make specific decisions on which groups or individuals receive funding.
