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 Manitoba provides grants of up to $500<\/strong> per eligible kid, per year (January 1st – December 31st) towards sport registration fees. Clubs eligible for Kidsport funding must be active members of their Provincial Sport Organizations (PSO). If you are not sure if the club you want to apply for is a member of their respective PSO, we recommend contacting them to find out. You can find a list of all the Provincial Sport Organizations on the Sport Manitoba website here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Grants are intended to be used for sport registration fees; travel, competitions, uniforms and camps are not eligible for funding. Grants cannot be issued to programs\/seasons that have already concluded.<\/p>\n\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 <\/p>\n +$6,893 for each additional person<\/p>\n The application deadline for all regions is the 15th – or the last working day prior to the 15th of every month by 4:30 pm .
