The Canterbury Sports Foundation (Inc) was established on June 29, 1978 with initial funding coming from a small surplus accumulated by the 1974 Commonwealth Games in Ōtautahi Christchurch.
The Canterbury Sports Foundation's initial aim was to foster sports development in Canterbury, with a special emphasis on retention and participation by school leavers - where there has always been a large drop-off in participants. Historically, the Foundation has also supported the production of quality coaching in all areas of sport, particularly the junior level.
Over the years, the emphasis of the Foundation has altered to focus on the financial support of pre-high performance athletes who have shown potential at an international level and require special assistance to develop further.
Since its inception, the Foundation has distributed more than $600,000 to individual clubs and associations to enable them to meet their objectives in developing sports.
