About the Fund
Built by people who believe wrestlers deserve more.
The BC Pro Wrestling Fund is a non-profit organization committed to developing and protecting professional wrestling talent in British Columbia.
Professional wrestling is a demanding live performance practice with physical, artistic, and community dimensions. In BC it is powered by a remarkable community: independent promotions, dedicated trainers, and performers who pour everything they have into their craft. But the realities of the work — the physical toll, the costs of training and travel, the unpredictability of income — can make it difficult for talented people to sustain a life in wrestling.
We founded the Fund on a simple conviction: the people who give so much to this craft and community should have somewhere to turn. Today, our work centers on three initiatives — an emergency assistance program providing modest, short-term help for unexpected emergencies, a program that brings trainers in from out of province to work directly with BC talent, and a live events program — beginning with Kits League in Vancouver — that creates paid performance opportunities and introduces new audiences to professional wrestling as an accessible, community-based live performance form. Scholarships, health and safety initiatives, and financial education are on our roadmap — the next commitments we intend to keep as the Fund grows.
We are a community organization first. We listen to wrestlers, work alongside the promotions and schools who train them, and direct support where it makes the greatest difference — expanding access to live performance, supporting performer development and safety, and building a more sustainable local performance ecosystem across British Columbia.
Governance & program independence
The BC Pro Wrestling Fund sets the goals, eligibility priorities, reinvestment decisions, and community-benefit outcomes of its programs. Production partners may assist with event delivery, but the Fund's purpose is to create paid opportunities, expand public access, and reinvest in the development and safety of British Columbia's professional wrestling community.
