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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n\t
KidSport New Brunswick uses the following eligibility requirements to determine financial eligibility for grants provided through the Provincial Fund.<\/p>\n
