FUNDING

MAP Grants

Gymnastics Saskatchewan Membership Assistance Program (MAP) Grants are made available to member clubs in good standing through a grant from Sask Sport and the Saskatchewan Lotteries Trust Fund. The Saskatchewan Lotteries Trust Fund provides MAP grants to sport, culture and recreation groups in the province from revenues derived from the sales of lottery tickets in the province.

The purpose of MAP grants is to provide direct financial assistance to our member clubs so that they may operate programs which will promote membership in their clubs and Gymnastics Saskatchewan, encourage participation in gymnastics, and provide training and upgrading opportunities for coaches, judges, athletes. MAP funds are to be used to support community and club-level sport development.

Gymnasts First Grant

This grant program is designed to assist competitive athletes (provincial stream, pre-novice and national stream) who require financial assistance to meet their club training and competition travel costs.

These values have significantly influenced our personal and professional lives.
