The Pickleball BC (“PBC”) Grant Programs, including our Community and Youth Grants, help clubs, schools, and community organizations grow the sport of pickleball across British Columbia. Through the Grant Program, eligible groups can apply for funding of up to $1,000 per annum.
Community Grants
The PBC Community Grant Program supports local pickleball clubs and organizations across British Columbia in developing and expanding pickleball opportunities within their communities. Through grants of up to $1,000, the program helps fund equipment, instructional initiatives, and other resources that introduce new players to the sport and strengthen local programs.
By supporting grassroots initiatives, PBC aims to grow participation and ensure communities throughout the province have the tools needed to build sustainable pickleball programs.
Community Grants are available only with support from a local PBC Affiliated Club, which must sponsor grant applications.
