Grant and Funding Programs Offered by Gold Medal Club (CMO)

Gold Medal Club strengthens the sport funding ecosystem by creating a bridge between promising athletes, business partners, donors, and the broader amateur sport community in Quebec. Through scholarship programs such as Ma première bourse and Les athlètes d’abord, along with events, fundraising, and partner initiatives, the organization helps athletes access early financial support and recognition at moments when resources can influence retention and progression. Its role is valuable because amateur athletes often face training, travel, equipment, coaching, and education costs before they have access to larger institutional or national-team support. By mobilizing private and community backing around athlete development, Gold Medal Club helps keep talent pathways open and makes sport philanthropy more visible, relational, and accessible to emerging athletes.
