Athletic dreams + Motherhood

Founded by Canadian Olympians and Paralympians, MOMentum exists because no woman should have to choose between her athletic career and having children. Whether an athlete is exploring fertility options, training through pregnancy, returning to competition postpartum, or balancing sport and motherhood, we provide funding, advocacy, and community to make it possible.

Through direct grants, partnerships, and storytelling, we are changing the game - because no athlete should be forced to choose between their dreams in sport and their dreams of family.

Join us in building a future where elite women athletes can thrive, at every stage of the motherhood journey.
