KidSport No kids should be left on the sidelines

So ALL Kids Can Play!

We believe that no kid should be left on the sidelines and all should be given the opportunity to experience the positive benefits of organized sports. KidSport™ provides support to children in order to remove financial barriers that prevent them from playing organized sport.

How does KidSport help?

KidSport provides grants to children from families facing financial barriers so they can participate in
registered sport programs.

KidSport supports programs that provide the child with a sustained sport experience led by qualified instructors.

Who is eligible to receive a KidSport grant?

Families that are on a low income, unemployed, on AISH, currently receiving income support through provincial government are all considered eligible.

KidSport considers social and economic barriers facing the child’s family when determining eligibility.

Grants are for children under the age of 18 years.

What does a KidSport grant cover?

KidSport Bow Valley provides financial support up to $500 per child per calendar year (Jan.-Dec.)
towards sport registration fees.

If the child needs equipment we will make referral to our partner agency, The Brick Sport Central.

What are the funding arrangements?

KidSport issues funds directly to the sport organization or community association on behalf
of the child.

When is the deadline to apply?

It’s best to submit your application to KidSport as soon as you register your child in the
sport program.

Programs that are complete are not eligible for funding.
