Deadline: 10-Sep-21
The City of Regina is offering 2021 Adapted Sport & Recreation Grants Program to support projects and initiatives that enhance inclusion and increase accessibility in sport and recreation for people with disabilities.
Priorities
- Increase accessibility to sport and recreation activities and resources, including sporting events and celebrations.
- Support community initiatives that address the recreation aspirations of the diverse community.
- Promote active and healthy lifestyles among children and youth.
- Support community initiatives that encourage multi-season use of open space.
- Support efforts by organizations that deliver programs, services and space that align with the Truth & Reconciliation Calls to Action (TRC).
Funding Information
- There is no maximum amount for applications to this funding program. The total funding amount available is $200,000, which will be distributed among the top eligible applicants as determined by the Grant Review Committee.
- All funds shall be spent by December 31, 2022, unless approval is given for a project that requires longer to complete.
Eligibility Criteria
All applicants must:
- be one of the following:
- a registered non-profit community organization that is operating with an active status, and that has been incorporated for at least one year at the time of application submission. Verification of current non-profit incorporation must be submitted with the application;
- a School Community Council or registered non-profit organization on behalf of a school or School Board.
- be based in Saskatchewan or be a provincial organization and deliver services to the residents of Regina;
- demonstrate sound financial management and accountability;
- be responsible for the development, implementation, and evaluation of those activities for which the funds are intended;
- not exclude anyone because of religion, national or ethnic origin, colour, sex, sexual orientation, age, or mental or physical disability. This does not preclude those organizations that restrict services to a particular sector of the community for reasons of improving the conditions of disadvantaged individuals or groups of the Charter of Rights;
- have a distinct line of separation between the budget of its funded activities and the furtherance of an organization’s religious and political mandate (if applicable); and
- be considered in good standing by the City of Regina (e.g. no outstanding accounts such as unpaid taxes, utilities, tickets, permits, etc.) or follow-up reports from previous CIGP funding.
