Muskoka Community Foundation, in partnership with the True Sport Foundation is inviting applications for grants from Dara’s Fund beginning February 13, 2017. 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 $3500 to six female athletes in Muskoka. 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.
Dara will be awarding the grants at this year’s Smart & Caring Muskoka Celebration being held on May 5. The application deadline is March 24, 2017 at 5 pm. To apply for a grant from Dara’s Fund, or for more information on the grants, visit muskokacommunityfoundation.ca or contact Lynn at 705-646-1220.
