At the Chad Staley Memorial Athletic Foundation, we are committed to giving athletes the chance to reach their full potential both in sport and in life. Our focus is on facilitating access to opportunities and resources—whether that’s connecting athletes with mentorship, development programs, or the financial support they need through grants and scholarships. While we don’t currently deliver training ourselves, we help athletes access the right environments, expertise, and tools to thrive.
The Chad Staley Memorial Athletic Foundation is committed to breaking down barriers for athletes and sport organizations in Canada. Our grants are open to athletes up to age 24 and local organizations who demonstrate financial need, commitment to growth, and alignment with our core pillars: athletics, academics, health, well-being, and access.
Funding may support coaching, equipment, uniforms, travel, academic tutoring, counselling, mental health services, or leadership and life-skills programs. Athletes can receive between $250–$2,000, while organizations may be awarded up to $5,000.
A key part of our program includes supporting baseline testing and safe return-to-play pathways, ensuring athletes can monitor their health, track progress, and build confidence as they grow. By coordinating these opportunities, we help athletes strengthen their performance while also supporting their long-term well-being.
Established in 2024, the CSMF Endowment Fund supports athletes in overcoming challenges, achieving goals, and developing into well-rounded individuals focusing on Athletics, Academics, Health and Well-being.
Established in 2024, the CSMF Development Fund supports athletes with resources they need to succeed, foster mental and physical resilience to navigate the pressures of athletic life, and promote strong character in all pursuits.

Prince George Community Fund
Through our partnership with the Prince George Community Foundation (PGCF), we’ve created dedicated funding streams that ensure long-term support for athletes and programs. PGCF helps us manage these resources responsibly and transparently, allowing donors to choose where their contributions will make the most impact. Together, we are building a sustainable foundation that not only supports athletes today but continues to provide opportunities for future generations.
Athletes face countless challenges both in and out of sport, and having the right support system can make all the difference. The Chad Staley Memorial Athletic Foundation was built to be a trusted outlet athletes can turn to when they need help finding the right path forward. Whether it’s accessing training opportunities, connecting with injury prevention and health specialists, seeking academic tutoring, receiving mental health counseling, or preparing for life after sport, our goal is to guide athletes toward the resources that can best support their growth.
We want to ensure every athlete has the opportunity to thrive in their sport while also gaining the knowledge and awareness of opportunities beyond it. By helping athletes build confidence in their ability to handle setbacks and by working alongside them to reduce as many barriers as possible, we aim to create an environment where they are supported in every aspect of their journey. CSM’s role is not to replace coaches, trainers, or educators, but to bridge the gap — connecting athletes with the programs, people, and expertise they need to succeed in sport, in school, and in life.
