The Agitos Foundation is making hundreds of thousands of Euros available to enable member organisations to develop para-sports, through a new Grant Support Programme.

The aim of the scheme is to help organisations to train Technical Officials, classifiers and coaches as well as to support them with competitions, developing low cost sports equipment and classification research.

Members can apply for a grant via an application process that concludes on 15 August, 2013.

The 650,000 Euros, which has been made possible through the new partnership agreement between the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) and International Olympic Committee (IOC), is for 2013. Annual funds will also be made available through similar schemes until 2016.

The call for applications is divided into two parts. One is for National Paralympic Committees and Regional Organisations and the other for International Federations and International Organisations of Sports for the Disabled.

More information on how to apply for the Grant Support Programme can be found in the related documents section of this page.
