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 Prince Edward Island provides grants of up to $600 per eligible kid, per year (January 1st – December 31st) towards sport registration fees.<\/p>\n
If the child needs equipment, we will make a referral to a partner agency. Grants are intended to be used for sport registration fees; travel and competitions are not eligible for funding.<\/p>\n\t
KidSport PEI uses family income level<\/b> to determine financial eligibility for grants provided through the Provincial Fund. A Net Annual Family Income of $60,000 or less will qualify you for a KidSport PEI grant.<\/p>\n
