APPLY FOR A GRANT

So ALL Kids Can Play! KidSport Grande Prairie gives grants to families in order to help remove any financial barriers towards any sport. KidSport grants help cover the cost of registration fees.

KidSport grants cover the cost of sport registration fees for qualified families. Grants are intended to remove financial barriers to sport programs, and cannot be applied to transportation or tournament fees.

KidSport Grande Prairie provides support for kids registered in programs that provide a sustained sport experience (6+ weeks in duration), are taught by qualified instructors, and meet Sport Canada's definition of a sport. Sport Canada defines a sport as an activity that involves two or more participants engaging in a competition. It involves formal rules and procedures, and requires tactics and strategies, neuromuscular skills and a high degree of difficulty, risk and effort. Programs that are required in order to attain a competitive level (i.e. swim lessons) are also eligible for funding.

Transportation costs and tournament fees are not eligible for funding.

Kidsport Grande Prairie & Area serves children and youth living in the City of Grande Prairie or within the following boundaries: West to BC border, East to RidgeValley, North to Spirit River/Rycroft, South to Grovedale.  If you are outside our boundaries, you can apply to the Kidsport Provincial Fund.

It is best to register your child in the sports program prior to applying for KidSport funding. By registering with the sport you also get information needed to apply online.  Each program is different, some only require the Registration ID # but many may require that KidSport funding prior to the program’s start date. You should apply for a KidSport grant as soon as possible after your kid has been registered, as it can sometimes take up to 30 days for applications to be processed.

KidSport grants cannot be applied to programs that have already ended.

When you apply online, you will be sent an automatic, system-generated email with your approval information.  This will only happen by this application.
