Football for All Community Grants
Football “Try It Days” introduce participants to Football in a welcoming and positive environment where the goals are to break down barriers to sport participation and increase sport participation among equity-deserving groups.
In 2024, Football Canada gave away $25,000 in community grants nationwide to foster grassroots development through Football Canada’s “Try It Days” thanks to funding received from the Government of Canada.
Football “Try It Days” introduce participants to Football in a welcoming and positive environment where the goals are to break down barriers to sport participation and increase sport participation among equity-deserving groups.

Goals of “Try It Days”:
- Reduce barriers to sport participation
- Increase sport participation among equity-deserving groups
- Introduce participants to football in a welcoming and positive environment!
