What is a Grant?

KidSport provides grants to kids from families facing financial barriers so they can participate in registered sport programs and experience the lifelong benefits of a season of sport. KidSport Grande Prairie provides grants of up to $500 per eligible child, per year (January 1st - December 31st) towards sport registration fees except ice hockey fees.

Note: Ice Hockey registration fees, for the 2024-2025 season, approved applicants may access a maximum funding amount of $750 per child . If you would like to learn more about this grant program, please click here.

Do you need equipment in order to play? Let us know, and we can make a referral to a partner agency. KidSport grants are intended to be used for sport registration fees; travel and competitions are not eligible for funding.
