Established in 2008, the Fund for the Elimination of Doping in Sport assists States Parties to the International Convention against Doping in Sport to develop and implement anti-doping projects.

Providing practical and technical support, the Fund has three priorities:

• education projects focusing on youth and sport organizations,
• policy advice, and
• mentoring and capacity-building.

Since 2008, financial assistance has been provided to over all over the world, translating into more than USD 5 million of investment in more than 120 countries.

States Parties are eligible to apply for either national (US$ 35,000) or regional (US$ 95,000) project grants
