Applications open for new grant program launched in memory of Chad Staley

The Prince George Community Foundation is now accepting applications for a new grant program supporting young athletes and local sport organizations.

The Chad Staley Memorial Development Fund was recently established by the Chad Staley Memorial Foundation, marking the fifth anniversary of Chad’s passing.

“While rooted in athletics, the fund is designed to support athletes beyond the game,” said Chad Staley Memorial Foundation President James Pattie.

“By providing consistent, individualized support to both athletes and local support organizations, we aim to build well-rounded funding streams that nurture performance, academics, and overall health and well-being.”

Grants are available to individual athletes (up to age 24) and to local sport organizations demonstrating financial need or facing barriers to participation.

Eligible expenses include coaching and training, equipment, competition fees and travel, mental health counselling, academic tutoring, inclusive program access and more.

Individuals can apply for funding between $250 and $2,000, while local sport organizations can request up to $5,000.
