Because all children have the right to participate in Sports!

Our sport grants have been leveling the playing field financially for low income Brantford, County of Brant and Six Nations families for over 20 years. We assist parents and caregivers who may have limited financial freedom to provide opportunities for their children to experience an active lifestyle in an organized sport. Participating in sport has many recorded and documented values for children and youth but also to families and to the community.

At the Arnold Anderson Sport Fund, we believe in the transformative power of sport to shape lives and strengthen communities.

• We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to play. Participation in sport fosters friendships, belonging, and joy—essential ingredients for a healthy, fulfilling childhood.

• We believe that when children and their families understand the lifelong benefits of organized recreational sport, they are empowered to make choices that enhance their physical, emotional, and social well-being.

• We believe that sport builds confidence, resilience, and a positive self-image. These qualities help young people navigate challenges, avoid negative influences, and grow into engaged, compassionate citizens.

• We believe that sport is a catalyst for connection. It nurtures teamwork, communication, and leadership—skills that ripple outward into schools, neighborhoods, and communities.

We are committed to breaking down financial barriers so that every child can access the life-changing benefits of sport—because when kids play, communities thrive.
