\n\t\tWhat is a Grant?\n\t<\/h2>\n\t

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<\/strong>, per year (January 1st – December 31st) towards sport registration and equipment fees.<\/p>\n

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 Nova Scotia uses a CRA Notice of Assessment <\/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> to determine financial eligibility for grants, if applicable.<\/p>\n

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*:<\/p>\n

2 person family – $38,003<\/p>\n

3 person family – $46,720<\/p>\n

4 person family – $56,724<\/p>\n

5 person family – $64,336<\/p>\n

6 person family – $72,560<\/p>\n

7 person family or more – $80,785<\/p>\n*To calculate family size count the number of parent or parents in the household plus the number of children 18 years or younger Example:
\n2 person family = 1 parent + 1 child.
\n3 person family = 1 parent + 2 children OR 2 parents + 1 child\n\t

Each program is different, but many do require that KidSport funding be received prior to the program’s start date. You should apply for a KidSport grant as soon as possible after your kid has been registered, as it can sometimes take up to 30 days for applications to be processed from the noted deadline you are applying for.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    Our application deadline dates are the first working day in the months of January, March, May, July, September, October and November.<\/p>\n
