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 Lacombe County provides grants of up to $250 per eligible child, per year (January 1st – December 31st) towards sport registration fees.

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

Eligibility Requirements

KidSport Lacombe County uses Stats Canada’s annual Low Income Cut Off (LICO) guidelines to determine financial eligibility for grants provided through KidSport Red Deer.

If you are unsure of your eligibility to receive a grant, please reach out to lacombe@kidsport.ab.ca.
