The KidSport Mission
We believe that no kid should be left on the sidelines and all should
 be given the opportunity to experience the positive benefits of
organized sports. KidSport™ provides support to children in order
 to remove financial barriers that prevent them from playing
organized sport.

About KidSport

KidSport™ Canada is a national not-for-profit organization that
provides financial assistance for registration fees and equipment
 to kids from 5 – 18 years. Through a confidential application process
 we provide grants so they can play a season of sport, attend a sport
 camp and/or participate in a KidSport activity in their community
and/or school. One of our primary goals is to support our network
 of 11 provincial/territorial KidSport chapters and 177 community
KidSport chapters across Canada in their fundraising and sport activities.
