GIVE NOW
For the families we serve, the Sport4Life Grants are an essential part of ensuring that their kids can stay in the game. The average grant we provide is $200 per year. These grants are only possible because of our generous donors. From private individual donors to companies and foundations, it takes a large community of passionate people who believe in the power of sport to ensure that we can say "Yes!" to every child who wants to play.
APPLY FOR A GRANT
We partner 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.
