Parasport Club Development and
Equipment Grants
|
|
Application Deadline: March 22
The Parasport Club Development Grant provides financial assistance to support "new" developmental programs in communities, or the expansion of existing sport programs for persons with a disability (such as new age groups, gender, or sport within an existing club setting). Funds can be used to offset regular costs related to CLUB delivery, such as facility rental, coaching development, officiating, travel assistance, etc.
|
|
The Parasport Equipment Grant provides financial assistance to assist the purchase of adapted equipment for people with a disability to participate in organized sport programs. The cost of specialized (adapted) equipment for athletes with a disability is a significant barrier to their participation.
Application Deadlines for both grants are March 22 and/or September 22 annually; clubs must submit applications to their PSGB's and Districts.
|
|
The Parasport grants are funded through a program of Sask Sport Inc. with Saskatchewan Lotteries proceeds. Saskatchewan Lotteries is the main fundraiser for over 12,000 sport, culture and recreation and community groups in the province.
|
|
This week Sask Sport distributed 1,900 pink shirts to students at 19 schools participating in the Dream Brokers program. This initiative allowed students across our province to join a chorus of Canadians promoting kindness.
At Sask Sport, we believe in the power of sport and events like Pink Shirt Day. Together, these efforts are building respect, self-esteem and positive outcomes for people of all ages.
