Muskoka Community Foundation, in partnership with the True Sport Foundation, is inviting applications for grants from Dara’s Fund beginning February 12, 2018.
Olympic gold-medal Freestyle skier Dara Howell created Dara’s Fund at the Muskoka Community Foundation in April 2014 to build a legacy, as well as provide resources and opportunities for Muskoka’s female athletes who excel in any sport and are demonstrating a commitment to take their sport to the next level to pursue their dreams. Since 2014, Dara’s Fund has granted $5,000 to nine female athletes in Muskoka.
[Dara was named to the 2018 Olympic Freestyle Team on January 22 and will compete in PyeongChang, South Korea on February 17.]Dara established the Fund as a way to give back to her community and thank them for supporting her and her family on her journey to the podium. Preference will be given to applicants who exemplify the principles of fair play, inclusion, respect, participation, and community leadership while also demonstrating a commitment to the True Sport Principles.
Grant recipients will be announced at this year’s Smart & Caring Muskoka Celebration being held on May 11. The application deadline is March 23, 2018 at 5 pm.
