Pioneer Fund

Pioneer Fund

The Pioneer Fund was established to provide funds on an annual basis for the general purposes of the Soaring Assocation of Canada. The fund was started after the government reduced and ultimately stopped funding to certain sporting organizations in Canada which resulted in SAC being in a very dire financial situation. The fund provides money to offset some of the cost of running the organization. A full account of the details of the fund can be found in the fund deed:

 
Donations are always being accepted for the Pioneer Fund and all donations to the fund will receive a tax receipt. If you are interested in making a donation to the Pioneer Fund, please contact the SAC office through any channel shown below.
