What is a Grant?
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 North Bay provides grants of up to $500 per eligible child, per year (January 1st - December 31st) towards sport registration fees. KidSport Family Income threshold is $60,000.00.
NEW for 2024 - Deadline to apply for funding is November 1st of the current year.
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.
Please Note: Please do not pre-pay for Registration or Equipment fees as we are unable to issue Grants to families. The Grant must be made payable to the Sport Club or Equipment Dealer.
Should your child require Equipment, please provide an official quote from Skater's North Source for Sports for protective gear only. This is the only equipment retailer that the KidSport North Bay Chapter has a relationship with.
Eligibility Requirements
KidSport North Bay uses the following eligibility requirements to determine financial eligibility for grants provided through the Provincial Fund.
