The Hexfit Fund for Sport and Health supports projects led by physical activity professionals who get their communities moving. In 2026, Hexfit launches the fund: $200,000 (Canadian dollars) over 4 years, in grants of $100 to $1,000. An independent committee selects the projects, 4 times a year. If you lead a sport and health project, you can apply online at any time.
Étienne Dubois, founder of Hexfit, presents the fund in a video recorded in French, which you can watch with auto-translated subtitles: watch the video on YouTube.
Why is Hexfit launching a fund for sport and health?
Since the start, Hexfit has supported 25,000 professionals in 65 countries. We see you building projects for your community: programs for young people or seniors, prevention workshops, events, initiatives for vulnerable people.
These projects reach the people that large campaigns miss: those who don’t dare to move, who are afraid of getting hurt or who have already given up. You often run them in your free time, sometimes with your own money.
What’s missing most often to get them started is funding. That’s what the fund is for.
“Most of the time, what professionals who want to get their community moving are missing is funding. The Hexfit Fund wants to be that boost, wherever Hexfit is present.”
How does the Hexfit Fund for Sport and Health work?
- $200,000 over 4 years, or $50,000 per year.
- Grants of $100 to $1,000 per project, to support as many initiatives as possible.
- An independent committee, separate from Hexfit, selects the projects: academics and recognized physical activity experts in Quebec, Europe and Latin America.
- 4 calls for projects per year.
- No strings attached: these are donations, with no obligation of results, no contract and no link to using Hexfit.
Hexfit did not create a foundation: the team manages the fund with no intermediary, so the money goes to projects on the ground.
Who can apply to the Hexfit Fund?
You can apply if:
- you are a physical activity professional who provides individualized care (kinesiologist, personal trainer, strength and conditioning coach…), or a student training to become one;
- you are 18 or older;
- your project improves the conditions for physical activity or helps get more people moving;
- your project goes beyond your usual activities: a special project, a pilot project or an action with a particular impact. A service already part of your offer is not eligible.
Organizations of any legal form can apply.

- project starting between January and March: by November 30 of the previous year;

How does the committee select projects?
The committee assesses every complete application with the same criteria:
- clarity and credibility of the project and its budget;
- the target audience: profile, area, characteristics;
- social impact and how long it lasts;
- how well the amount requested matches the size of the project.
That way, every application has the same chance.
