Your Journey to a Fulfilling Life
What We Do
What We Do
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.
Eligible Brantford, Brant County and Six Nations families can apply once a year to receive financial sports grants of up to $400 (per child) to use toward registration fees for the sport of their choice. Parents are encouraged to discuss what sports are of interest with their child and then fill out our quick and easy online application form or download and print off a form from our website to mail or drop off at our office.
Once a complete application is received, the Application Committee will then review the grant. The sport organization is then contacted to verify that the child is registered in the program before the payment is sent directly to them. This process can take between 2-3 weeks so parents are urged to submit grant requests with all the required information and proper documentation a month before the start date of the sport.
The Arnold Anderson Sport Fund would not be able to provide this service if it were not for the generous support we receive from our caring and genuine community members and partner organizations.
Our Mission:
Unlock Your True Potential With Life Coaching Services
The Arnold Anderson Sport Fund is committed to removing financial barriers to sport by providing annual grants to cover registration fees. We strive to ensure that all economically disadvantaged youth in the City of Brantford, the County of Brant, and the surrounding Six Nations communities have the opportunity to participate in organized sports, fostering inclusion, personal growth, and community connection through active living.
OUR GUIDING PRINCIPLES:
• Equity in Access: We believe every child deserves the opportunity to participate in sports, regardless of their family’s financial circumstances.
• Youth-Focused Support: We provide funding for children and youth up to 17 years of age to help them thrive through sport.
• Championing Participation: We support access to organized sports and physical activities that foster teamwork, confidence, and healthy lifestyles.
• Removing Financial Barriers: We assist with the cost of registration fees, ensuring that financial hardship does not stand in the way of a child’s athletic journey.
