Our upgraded application portal is expected to reopen in January 2026.

Apply for a grant
We love partnering with families to get their kids into sports by providing financial assistance with their registration fees. We provide 100% of a child's sports registration fee for over 55 amateur, non-school sports. We will also continue to fund athletes for multiple sports seasons a year, and multiple years in a row to develop a love of sport for life.
As you apply for your grant, don’t hesitate to reach out to us here. We are here to help and look forward to connecting with you.
Before you start your online application, there are a few things you need to check, collect and have ready.
