Before you start your online application, there are a few things you need to check, collect and have ready.

1. Check if you are eligible

To be eligible for funding, you must meet the following criteria:

• Your child is between the ages of 5 - 18

• You are a resident of British Columbia

• Your annual net taxable family income is less than $45,000* Canadian dollars

• The sport you are applying for is an A4K approved sport

• Your child is registered with a sports organization

*used as a guide to determine financial eligibility. If your income is higher, extenuating circumstances can be taken into account, please provide details with your application.

2. Obtain financial documents

Each applicant is required to submit one of the following from each of the primary caregivers (parents/guardians):

• A copy of your most recent Child Tax Benefit Statement. Please make sure it clearly states your marital status and net family income.

• A copy of your most recent Notice of Assessment (NOA) from Revenue Canada. After July 1, 2023 we require your 2022 NOA.

• Proof that the child is in foster care (we do not require proof of income for foster families at this time).

**If your net family income is under $10,000 and you are not receiving social assistance we will require additional financial documentation showing how you are making ends meet.

As well as the following if applicable:

• A copy of your current Social Assistance notice of deposit

• Current Employment Insurance notice of deposit

• Current Disability benefits

• Signed Release of Information (ROI) from the Ministry

A4K may require additional documentation prior to completing its review of your application.

If needed, you can apply to more than one funding organization and still receive support from Athletics4Kids.
