ABOUT
KidSport British Columbia
At KidSport we believe sport powers kids. Getting in the game ignites a sense of belonging, shapes character, fuels better health, builds confidence and unleashes potential.
But the cost of registration fees can be a barrier for many families.
Through a confidential application process, KidSport provides grants to kids from families facing financial barriers to help cover the cost of their sport registration fee so they can experience the joy of a season of sport.
If you want to apply for a KidSport grant or learn more about the program, start by finding your local chapter. If your community doesn’t have a local chapter, you can apply through our Provincial Chapter.
Our History
The KidSport concept was launched in 1993 by board and staff at Sport BC as a way to help address the challenges faced by many families when registering their children in organized sport. Since then, KidSport has expanded across the country and to become a national entity with 11 provincial/territorial chapters and over 170 community chapters.
Because the KidSport program starts at a local, provincial or territorial chapter, the impact of funding directly shapes sport in local communities. Each chapter—most of which are completely volunteer-run—raises funds, accepts applications, and distributes grants in its own community.
Since its inception, KidSport BC, inclusive of our community chapters, has issued more than $25 million in grants to fund a season of sport for 100,000 kids, including $3.6 million in grants - the largest single year grant distribution in our program's history - to fund sport for 10,695 kids last year (2024).
Today, our mission remains the same…to remove the financial barriers that prevent some children from playing organized sport #SoALLKidsCanPlay!
