Cycling Foundation Grants Open
Cycling Foundation Grants is now open for cyclists to apply for the 2026 season. The Foundation was established in 2003 after the UCI Road Cycling World Championships in Hamilton, Ontario as part of the legacy endowment from the event. For over twenty years the Foundation has worked to improve the sport of cycling in Canada. Recent years have included support for Juniors selected to the Road world championships and Mission 2026 – supporting the most promising athletes in the lead up to 2026 World Championships.
Over the years (2010 – 2025), 115 total athletes have been supported; 109 were Junior world championship grant recipients. Among the names are Olympic medallists and riders who have gone on to professional careers, including Derek Gee, Alison Beveridge, Ariane Bonhomme, Nigel Ellsay, Piere-Andre Cote, Sara Poidevin, Maggie Coles-Lyster, Nick Zukowsky and Elite world champions Magdeleine Vallières-Mill (Road) and Dylan Bibic (Track).
The Foundation’s mission is to help aspiring young Canadian cyclists reach the pinnacle of road cycling, a career in professional sport.
