\n\t\tWhat is a Grant?\n\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. KidSport Pictou County provides grants of up to $500<\/strong> per eligible kid<\/strong>, per year (January 1st – December 31st)\u00a0 towards sport registration fees.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Do you need equipment in order to play? Let us know! 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; travel and competition fees are not eligible for funding.<\/p>\n\t

Eligibility Requirements<\/h3>\n\t

KidSport Pictou uses\u00a0a\u00a0CRA Notice of Assessment\u00a0<\/b>as the primary document to determine financial eligibility for grants.<\/p>\n

We also accept\u00a0Social Income Assistance Statement, an<\/strong>\u00a0endorsement from the Department of Community Services, or an endorsement from Indigenous Social Development<\/b>\u00a0to determine financial eligibility for grants, if applicable.<\/p>\n

If applying with a 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:<\/p>\n

2 person family – $36,576<\/p>\n

3 person family – $44,966<\/p>\n

4 person family – $54,594<\/p>\n

5 person family – $61,920<\/p>\n

6 person family – $69,835<\/p>\n

7 person family or more – $77,751<\/p>\n
