The following factors will be considered in choosing successful applications:
- The application must clearly outline the goal of removing barriers and increasing physical activity and sport participation and retention for equity-deserving groups.
- For the purpose of this grant, equity-deserving groups are defined as: members of the Black, Indigenous, 2SLGBTQQIA+, and racialized communities, newcomers to Canada, low-income populations, and people with a disability.
- The activity must take place in Canada.
- The activity must take place within June 2023, either in its entirety or in part.
- Chapters, branches or locations from within the same organization may submit separate applications if they are hosting different programs or events during the Community Challenge timeframe.
- All recipients agree to track physical activity minutes on the ParticipACTION website or app during the challenge period and complete a post-event online report (survey) within one month after the program or event ends. Failure to track physical activity minutes and complete the report will make the organization ineligible for future grant applications with ParticipACTION.
