 KidSport™
SportsFunder provides support to KidSport BC -
allowing more kids from across B.C. to
participate in sport. A program of Sport BC, KidSport™ is designed to
remove the financial obstacles that prevent
underprivileged children from playing sport in
British Columbia. It does this by providing
funding to cover some or all of the costs of
participating in a sport.
Each year, an eligible child can receive up to
$150 for a season of sport, with the funding usually
provided directly to the league, club or sport
organization. Applications are kept confidential,
and participating children usually don’t even know
they have received funding.
KidSport™ is supported by 2010 Legacies Now and
SportsFunder Lottery, and also has corporate
partners and solicits charitable donations. In
addition to a province-wide fund, the program also
has 17 active community chapters throughout the
province, operated by volunteer committees.
More information on
KidSport™
is available from the Sport BC website.
