2019 WISE Fund Applications Are Open!
CAAWS – Our 2019 WISE Fund application process is now open! Tell us your story and you could win $1000 to help support women and girls.
The Women in Sport Encouragement (WISE) Fund invests in the development of women leaders in sport and supports sport organizations to strengthen their engagement of girls and women. Since 2004, CAAWS has awarded $150,000 in grants to leaders and organizations across Canada!
Our two core areas of emphasis are retention of girls in sport and expanding women’s leadership in sport. We are proud to support leaders and organizations who are taking steps to bring these goals to life. We award ten grants annually, each valued at $1000.
The 2019 WISE Fund application process opens on November 1st and will close on November 30th 2018. Grant recipients will be announced in March of 2019.

We are grateful to Sport Canada for their support of this initiative.
