Ontario Cycling (OC) recognizes that the landscape of youth cycling has changed in recent years and that the challenges facing clubs and event organizers who are focused on providing youth development continues to grow. The Tony Osborne Fund was developed to focus on providing support to those groups who provide these opportunities for youth (18 years and younger) within all cycling disciplines. Youth events may apply for a grant that can be utilized for operational costs such as medals, timing, police, barricades etc. which will enhance the quality of the event or provide for a more robust event. 

OC affiliated clubs may also have specific areas of interest that they would like to further develop (for coaches or athletes). This could be focusing on a specific technical skill [e.g., MTB drops] or introducing a new cycling sport into the clubs [e.g., cyclo-cross]. The intention of the grant is to utilize the expertise that is available within the province, increase opportunities for knowledge sharing, and help clubs enhance their training delivery.
