Contest Hosting Grant for SAC Clubs

In an effort to encourage the hosting of regional (zone) and national gliding contests by clubs throughout Canada, SAC has established a Contest Hosting Grant. SAC recognizes that it takes a fair amount of effort to put on a safe and enjoyable contest and the Contest Hosting Grant for Clubs provides a reward to clubs that host sanctioned contests.

Clubs that a competition that is less than 6 days in length will receive a $2,500 grant, clubs that host a competition that is 6 days or more will receive a $4,000 grant and clubs that host a national contest will receive a $5,500 grant. The grants can be used by the club for whatever they see fit. Grants will be distributed following the completion of the contest.

SAC will also consider requests for one time special grants in order to host FAI International Competitions such as the Pan American or the World Gliding Championships. 

The Sporting Committee will review all contests for the year and determine which contests will be eligible to receive the Contest Hosting Grant. If your club is interested in hosting a zone or national competition, contact your Zone Director and the chair of the Sporting Committee.
