\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 Halton provides grants of up to $250 per eligible child, per year (January 1st – December 31st) towards sport registration fees.<\/p>\n

Do you need equipment in order to play? Let us know, and we can make a referral to a partner agency. KidSport grants are intended to be used for sport registration fees; travel and competitions are not eligible for funding.<\/p>\n\t

Eligibility Requirements<\/h3>\n\t

KidSport Halton reviews the financial barriers facing the child’s family when determining eligibility for grants provided through the Provincial Fund. <\/p>\n
