The Women’s Initiatives Committee (WIC) was formed as an adhoc committee to address Sport Canada guidelines to generate more women participating in skydiving. The WIC is dedicated to not only increasing women's participation by recruitment, but retaining our current participants by offering them training and development opportunities. The WIC is now accepting funding requests for events/individuals/teams that will offer women access to new opportunities, as well as foster self-empowerment and inclusion.

Applications will be reviewed and awarded funding based on (but not limited to) the following guidelines:

1. All Athlete Development Funding Guidelines are met
2. Goals that offer women access to new opportunities, and foster self-empowerment and inclusion
3. Relation of the goals to the safety and development of women skydivers
4. Level of involvement of women in the event or initiative (as participants, coaches, applicants and/or organizers), in a manner that will promote or support the committee’s objectives.

Requests for funding should not exceed $500.
