\n\t\t\tWhat Is A Grant?\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. We provide grants of up to $300 per eligible child, per year<\/strong> (January 1-December 31)\u00a0 to cover registration fees for organized sport programs. Grants are intended to be used for sport registration fees; travel, competitions, uniforms, camps, and lessons are not eligible for funding. Grants cannot be issued for programs\/seasons that have already concluded.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sports clubs must be active members of their Provincial Sport Organization (PSO)\u00a0 to be eligible for KidSport funding. If you are unsure whether your club qualifies, we recommend contacting them directly or checking the list of PSOs on Sport Manitoba’s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Please note that KidSport Manitoba does not distribute equipment, nor does the program accept equipment donations.<\/strong><\/p>\n\t

Eligibility Requirements<\/h2>\n\t

KidSport uses the Statistics Canada Low Income Cut-off guidelines as a tool to determine which families are eligible for assistance. Exceptions may occur for unique circumstances, but in most cases applications will not be considered if your household gross<\/strong>\u00a0income is higher than shown in the chart below.<\/p>\n
