Funding Support to Clubs
Clubs always have a need for money, whether it is to purchase grooming equipment, build or expand a club-house, or fund a paid manager, coach, or groomer.
The main source of club funding is membership fees.
Special fund-raising, from club members, local businesses, and other sources is also frequently used, especially for capital expenditures or projects.
Local fund-raising will always remain the core of such efforts, but there are a variety of other support mechanisms that clubs can access:
- Districts may have funding that can be accessed;
- Municipal governments may be a further source;
- The Ontario Government has two important programs that can be used by clubs to supplement their own fundraising efforts:
- Cross Country Canada's Charitable Donations Policy has also been used by a number of Ontario clubs.
It provides the ability for clubs to use CCC's Charitable Donations number when soliciting donations from individuals or business.
Applications must be approved through Cross Country Ontario and proposals must clearly show the linkage between the project and the national objectives and mission of CCC.
