Funding Assistance

At Powell River Gymnastics, we believe every child should have the chance to experience the joy and confidence that comes from gymnastics. We understand that program costs can be a challenge, so we’ve gathered a list of available grants and funding programs that may help cover registration costs.

*All grant programs have their own rules, eligibility criteria, and application requirements. Please refer directly to each grant’s website for full details before applying.
