\n\t\tWhat is a Grant?\n\t<\/h2>\n\t

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 Hanna provides grants of up to $600 per eligible kid, per year (January 1st – December 31st) towards sport registration fees.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n\t

Eligibility Requirements<\/h3>\n\t

KidSport Hanna uses Stats Canada’s annual Low Income Cut Off (LICO) guidelines to determine financial eligibility for grants provided through KidSport Hanna.<\/p>\n\n\t

KidSport Hanna gives grants to families to help remove financial barriers to sport. KidSport grants help cover the cost of registration fees, So ALL Kids Can Play!<\/p>\n\t\t\tWhat does a KidSport grant cover?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t

KidSport grants cover the cost of sport registration fees for qualified families. Grants are intended to remove financial barriers to sport programs, and so cannot be applied to equipment, transportation, or tournament fees.<\/p>\n\t\t\tWhat sports are eligible?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t

KidSport Hanna 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, competition fees, and equipment fees are not eligible for funding.<\/p>\n\t\t\tWhat communities are covered by KidSport Hanna?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\n\t\t\tWhen is the deadline to apply?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t

You must register your kid in a sports program prior to applying for KidSport funding. Each program is different, but many do require that KidSport funding be received 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.<\/p>\n

KidSport grants cannot be applied to programs that have already ended.<\/p>\n\t\t\tHow will I know if the application has been approved?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t

If you have applied online, you will be sent an automatic, system-generated email with your approval information.<\/p>\n

If you have applied offline (in-person, through an emailed PDF form, or through a printed form), you must include your email address in order to receive confirmation of your approval.<\/p>\n\t\t\tHow do I demonstrate financial eligibility?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\n

We strongly recommend this option, as it is free, and the fastest way to obtain your statement.<\/p>\n

You may also request your statement by mail.<\/p>\nOther options for demonstrating financial need include
\nCanada Child Benefit Notice (page 1 and 2)
\nNotice of Assessment (each adult in the home)
\nIncome Support\n\t\t\tWhat if the child lives outside of the area we cover?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t

If your family lives outside of the area we cover, you can apply to the KidSport Provincial Fund. The provincial fund works like a big chapter, and covers all communities that do not already have a KidSport chapter.<\/p>\n\t\t\tIs my information kept private and confidential?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t

Yes, all your personal information will be stored securely and destroyed once appropriate. Our online application system is secure and trustworthy. KidSport and our partners will never sell or share your personal data.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
