Fonds Provincial
If you're not sure of your Local Chapter, don’t worry! You can still apply for a KidSport grant through the Provincial Fund. Scroll down to learn more about our program and get answers to all of your questions.
Qu’est-ce qu’une subvention?
KidSport provides grants to kids (18 years old or younger) from families facing financial barriers so they can participate in registered sport programs and experience the lifelong benefits of a season of sport. KidSport Nova Scotia provides grants of up to $500 per eligible kid, per year (January 1st - December 31st) towards sport registration and equipment fees.
If the child needs equipment, we will provide a voucher so you can get the right gear from our equipment partner Cleve’s Source for Sports.
Grants are intended to be used for sport registration and equipment fees only for multi-week sport programs that are organized by clubs in good standing with their Provincial Sport Organization.
Grants are not intended to be used for summer camps, elite/travel teams not associated with the PSO, private coaching, travel and tournament/competition fees.
Critères d’admissibilité
KidSport Nova Scotia uses a CRA Notice of Assessment as the primary document to determine financial eligibility for grants.
We also accept Social Income Assistance Statement, an endorsement from the Department of Community Services, or an endorsement from Indigenous Social Development to determine financial eligibility for grants, if applicable.
If applying using a CRA Notice of Assessment (one for each parent/guardian in the household) please ensure your total income (line 15000) does not exceed the cut offs listed below for your family size*:
2 person family - $38,003
3 person family - $46,720
4 person family - $56,724
5 person family - $64,336
6 person family - $72,560
7 person family or more - $80,785
*To calculate family size count the number of parent or parents in the household plus the number of children 18 years or younger Example:
2 person family = 1 parent + 1 child.
3 person family = 1 parent + 2 children OR 2 parents + 1 child
