Eligibility

Eligibility

The following financial assistance program websites are provided as a courtesy to help families in need of financial support in order for kids to be able to play and be healthy. It is important to note that applications must be done early in the season as the grants are issued early and can take up to 6-8 weeks for processing.

We also support the Pat Dinardo Fund to help offset costs in playing soccer. To be eligible for the Pat Dinardo Fund, families must show proof of support from another support fund, such as those listed below. 

  • KidSport Canada - Ontario - KidSport™ is a national not-for-profit organization that provides financial assistance to kids who just want to play some sports!

 

  • Canadian Tire JUMP START Program - Applications for assistance can typically be submitted from January 15 to November 1, (varies by Chapter) with the goal to be equitably distributed over Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter activities. The funding is distributed with a focus on maximizing the cost and length of participation per activity per child.

 

  • Their Opportunity - Their Opportunity is a grassroots charity based in Durham that exists to provide low-income families (total household income of $45,000 or less) with the means to enroll their children in organized sports and recreation programs.
