Empowering Female Athletes to Grow, Lead, and Thrive
CMBA is proud to launch the Bounce Forward Grant Program: a micro-grant initiative designed to break down barriers and help our female athletes succeed on and off the court. Individual grants of $250-$1000 will be awarded to athletes with creative, impactful proposals that show how funding can help them bounce forward in basketball and in life. Applications close at 9:00pm on October 4th.
What Can the Grants Be Used For?
-
Jerseys and sports gear designed with girls in mind
-
Training tools, skill development, and competition expenses
-
Mental health, nutrition, and wellness resources
-
Projects that inspire and support younger female athletes
-
Anything that helps you grow your game, your confidence, and your community
Our Criteria:
-
Open to all CMBA female athletes
-
Funds must be used for approved, basketball-related purposes with brief follow-up reporting to CMBA. All Projects must be completed by the end of Season 46 Playoffs (2025-26 season)
-
Preference given to proposals that create long-lasting benefits for athletes, peers, or the basketball community.
-
Applicants must have a sponsor/mentor who they are not related to. (Coach, teacher, etc).
By making grants easy to access, flexible, and athlete-centered, CMBA is ensuring that every dollar has maximum positive impact and that female athletes in Calgary have the resources they need to dream bigger, play stronger, and lead the way.
**All funds will be distributed upon project completion when receipts are provided.
