FINANCIAL AID
The cost associate with organized basketball may sometimes be a reason why a child cannot participate in the program. Fortunately, there are solutions to help offset this cost for families. Here are two national programs that have reduced financial barriers to sport access:
KidSport – Through a confidential application process, KidSport provides grants of between $250-$500 to help cover sport registration and equipment costs so that all kids aged 18 and under can play a season of sport.
Jumpstart – Founded in 2005, Jumpstart Charities helps kids overcome financial and accessibility barriers to sport and recreation in an effort to provide inclusive play for kids of all abilities.
