Race Incentive Grants for Members
FRWFL wants to encourage all members to participate in designated club races/events.
Applicants must be paid members and have been so for 3 months prior to applying for a Race Incentive Grant.
For 2025 each member will be eligible for a total of $150 in grants.
For each race a member may receive a 50% grant of the early-bird registration fee.
Race Incentives are granted regardless of a member’s financial need.
Member’s should complete the Race Incentive Grant Application.
It is suggested that members apply for Incentive funds before registering for a race, although this is not necessary. It is however required that members apply for funds for a race before the race has occurred. If approved, the member has until two weeks following the date of the race to submit the receipt.
Decisions will be made within seven days of submission. If approved, the member must register and pay for the full fee. It is also recommended that members make use of the FRWFL discount code when registering.
After paying for the race, member’s should return here within two weeks to provide proof of payment using the Proof of Payment Form. Reimbursement will be sent within 7 days.
Race Incentive Grants will be awarded based on the availability of funds and the decisions of the Race Incentive Grant Committee are final.
Currently the Race Incentive Grant Committee is composed of the Vice-President, Treasurer.
**Although not a requirement, it is strongly encouraged that Race Incentive Grant recipients wear their FRWFL Club Shirts at the race and take and post photographs in their club shirts on social media. Thanks.
