What is the Aboriginal Community Sport Grant? 

The purpose of the Aboriginal Community Sport Grant Program (ACSGP) is to provide greater sport participation and development opportunities for Aboriginal youth in Saskatchewan. The program will assist and support the implementation of organized community sport programs to increase sport opportunities for youth in the Aboriginal community, specifically in urban, rural, on-reserve, isolated and northern communities. The Aboriginal Community Sport Development grant will focus on communities and building their capacity to offer quality, organized sport programs for Aboriginal youth.

• A full-range of sport participation opportunities must be provided starting with exposure to a sport, then introducing the sport skills instruction, then onto organizing teams, clubs, league and tournaments and then offering opportunties for higher levels competition, often outside the community.
• A maximum of $5,000 per initiative per year is available.  The minimum application amount to be considered is $1,000 per initiative per year.
