COMMUNITY SPORT FUNDING PROGRAM

Next Deadline: May 31, 2008

If you want to increase opportunities for children and youth to play sports* in your community, the True Sport Community Fund can help.

Focusing on communities in Yukon, Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland, the True Sport Community Fund is a four year $1.89 million community investment program that provides opportunities for Canadian communities to access funds for sport programs for low income, Aboriginal and new Canadian families.

True Sport and The J.W. McConnell Family Foundation believe in the power of sport to connect communities. We also believe that people like you want to make it as simple as possible for children and youth to participate. That’s why we’ve partnered to create the True Sport Community Fund; which will help communities promote inclusion and increase access to sport programs for children and youth, aged four to seventeen.

Over the next year, communities will benefit from $5,000 grants and $25,000 grants.

* Please refer to the Fund Guidelines at www.truesport.ca/tsfund for a definition of sport eligibility.
