Recreational Program Financial Support Programs

Sometimes families need financial assistance to get their kids into a sport or physical activity. The following is a list of resources available:

Jumpstart Program
Sometimes, families need financial assistance to get their kids into a sport or physical activity. The Jumpstart Program is committed to helping all families access a range of activities.

• The annual maximum amount a child is eligible to receive is up to $600, subject to Chapter discretion and/or local demands

• The maximum amount of funding per application is $300

• Children can be funded for successive seasons in an activity, up to a maximum of $600 per activity

KidSport North Bay
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 $600 per eligible child, per year (January 1st - November 1st) towards sport registration fees.  KidSport Family Income threshold is $70,000.00.

Their Opportunity
Their Opportunity is a unique program that helps Canadian youth pay sports fees but in return, they ask that they participate in their Giveback Program where children who receive subsidies or participate in one of their core programs are asked to “pay it forward” within their community through volunteerism. This cycle of generosity will build stronger communities through active youth.
