KidSport New Brunswick
PROVINCIAL FUND
If your community doesn’t have a local chapter yet, don’t worry! You can still apply for a KidSport grant through the Provincial Fund.
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 New Brunswick provides grants of up to $400 per eligible kid, per year (January 1st - December 31st) towards sport registration fees.
If the child needs equipment, we will make a referral to a partner agency. Grants are intended to be used for sport registration fees; travel and competitions are not eligible for funding.
Eligibility Requirements
KidSport New Brunswick primarily uses the Canada Child Benefit (CCB) to assess financial eligibility for grants. We also accept the CRA Notice of Assessment (NOA) as an alternative. If you are applying with a CRA Notice of Assessment, please provide one NOA for each parent or guardian in the household. Be sure that the total income (line 15000) on the NOA combined for both parents does not exceed the income limits listed below for your family size..
We understand that families may face circumstances that can impact their income, and we are sensitive to these situations. If this applies to your family, we kindly ask that you provide an explanation of the extenuating circumstances that have affected your financial situation, so we can better assess your eligibility for funding.
if you are new to Canada and arrived in the country less than 12 months ago, please contact our KidSport coordinator at 506-238-3875 or programs@sportnb.com to learn about the documents you must provide.
