The Club Excellence Cooperative is grateful for the generous financial support of Canadian Heritage (Sport Canada) and the Ontario Trillium Foundation.

|
Sport Canada funded the initial development for the workshop support service. This included the workshop design (activities, structure, workbook and piloting), the pilot testing of the workshop and the training of the initial learning facilitators. |
|

|
The Ontario Trillium Foundation provided support to develop the standards and certification program that the current program is built to support. This support helped develop the standards and pilot test them with community sport clubs. |
