MAJOR MILESTONE ALERT! Did you know the KidSport program was started right here in British Columbia in 1993 by Sport BC with a goal to help remove financial barriers to sport? Over 30 years later, we've granted more than $25M to help fund a season of sport for nearly 100,000 kids across BC.

Thank you to everyone who has been a part of our story to help us get here. We couldn't have done it without you.

2024 was another record year for the KidSport program across BC. With your support 10,695 kids were funded totaling $3.6M in distributions to help cover the cost of sport registration fees - that's a $1M increase from last year.

We're incredibly proud of the impact our program is having, but this accelerated increase in demand has significantly depleted the financial reserves in many communities and donor support is urgently needed.

We’re proud that we’ve been able to support more kids than ever before to fund a season of sport, but the increased demand is putting a strain on our funding resources and it’s becoming difficult to keep up.

> Across BC we funded 44% more grants in 2023 vs 2022
> We’ve already surpassed 2023 granting totals this year and are on track to have our highest grant and fund distribution totals ever.

Donations are needed to ensure we can continue to meet the growing demand !

If you’re able, visit kidsport.ca/british-columbia to donate.
