Jumpstart Individual Child Grants Are Open for 2026!

Cost should never be the reason a child misses the opportunity to discover sport, build confidence, make friends, and find a community where they belong.

Canadian Tire Jumpstart’s Individual Child Grant provides financial assistance to help children from low-income families participate in sport and physical activity.

Funding of up to $300 per child, per year may be available to help cover eligible:
• Sport registration fees
• Equipment costs

For families involved in wheelchair and adaptive sport, these funds can help reduce some of the financial barriers that come with getting active and staying involved.

At Wheelchair Sports Alberta, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to play, participate, connect and belong. If your child is interested in wheelchair or adaptive sport, we can also help connect you with programs and clubs across Alberta.

📅 Applications for 2026 are now open.

Learn more and check eligibility through Canadian Tire Jumpstart:
https://jumpstart.canadiantire.ca/

Sport is more than the game—it builds confidence, friendships, independence and community.

At Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities, we’re committed to ensuring kids in need have equal access to sports and physical activity—and an equal chance to be their best.
