Staff Fund Request Form
Staff Fund Request?
This is where you make your claim.
The reason we have this fund is to make you into an even more awesome person who works at the gym. We don’t want to be just paying for gas. If you can convince us it is a good idea, we will go for it!
Some things we like funding: Hiring a guide. Fees for a ACMG course. Training courses. First Aid courses. Courses on how to be a better teacher. Extra first Aid courses. Campground fees for a climbing trip. Bolts and chains for existing routes. Guidebooks that go into the Crag X library. Poster printing, equipment and snacks for crag clean-up days or trailbuilding parties. Courses on being a better manager. Conferences on training, climbing, coaching. Arc’teryx Day courses. Travel medical insurance for a climbing trip outside Canada. Hiring a guide (there is no better way to get better than to climb with a good guide). Comp entry fee for a comp outside of Victoria. Subsidizing an apprenticeship as a comp setter. A piece of gear for an epic trip that afterwards goes into the Crag X gear library (that’s how we got the portaledge). Remember, we will do partial funding too! Did you already get reimbursed for your first aid certificate? That was deducted from your Fund.
Things we don’t like funding: Gas. Ferries (we’ll do one a year, max).
When do you get the funds? After you have made the purchase, and done the thing, and given Ella the receipt. We would like the climbers of Crag X to know we support your development, so we need a post for Instagram too. Make a original one for @climbcragx, you don’t have to post on your personal IG. (If you want us to link to your personal IG, we are happy to do that) If you need the money beforehand we can talk about that and may be able to make the purchase for you.
Once you get the funds: Make sure the people who climb at Crag X know how you made yourself a better Crag X staff member! Make that post!
