SPORT AND PHILANTHROPY PROGRAM Community sport builds community vitality. Sport plays an important role in our physical, social and economic health. When good sport is used intentionally to work on community priorities the results can transform our communities. Smart & Caring True Sport is a collaboration between Community Foundations of Canada and the True Sport Foundation that harnesses the power of sport to make our communities stronger, healthier and more resilient places to live, work and play. Smart & Caring True Sport provides a number of ways for community foundations and sport organizations to work together, using sport as a vehicle to strengthen community.

Building Knowledge and Relationships: Smart & Caring True Sport brings together community foundations and sport organizations across Canada, sparking new connections and creating opportunities to share community knowledge.

Investing in Community: Smart & Caring True Sport connects community foundations and donors with local sport organizations, helping to strengthen community investment and involvement in sport.

INCLUSIVE RECREATION ACTIVITY FUND The Inclusive Recreation Activity Fund, formally the Provincial Recreation Access Fund, exists to provide support and facilitate direct participation for those with disabilities. It is our intention to reduce or eliminate barriers that hinder participation. This re-imagined fund can help cover the costs of registration fees, transportation costs, and equipment needs of individuals who would not have been able to take part in physical activities without this program. New for 2015, a portion of the overall fund will be used as a one-time annual grant. This grant can be applied for via a municipality or organization and go towards inclusive recreation programming or inclusive upgrading of a facility.

For Individuals: (Maximum Request: $250) - Three Funding Periods Individuals with a disability can apply for funding from the Inclusive Recreation Activity Fund to help cover activity related expenses. Want to join a gym, or aqua size class? We can help with registration fees. Want to attend a summer camp or after school program? We can pay for that as well! We’ll even help you with some of your equipment and transportation needs too. In fact, we can cover expenses for just about anything, as long as the activity is “ACTIVE”, and not just a “one-time thing”. Funding Deadlines: July 24, 2015, October 2nd, 2015 and January 15th, 2016 For Municipalities: (Maximum Request: $2500) - Annually Municipalities or organizations that provide recreation services can apply for funding from the Inclusive Recreation Activity Fund to help cover inclusive programming or facility related expenses. Want to offer a parallel sport program in your recreation programs, or add specialized equipment to your facility? We can help with these costs. Want to provide a ramp or upgrade your washrooms to include wheelchair access? We can cover expenses for just about anything, as long as the program or facility will be part of the recreation delivery system and used to make those individuals with a disability more “ACTIVE”. Funding Deadline: July 24, 2015 - If funding remains, additional funding will be available for the October 2nd, 2015 and January 15th, 2016 periods. Municipalities/organizations must provide a letter of intent with your application detailing how these funds will be used and the benefit to your community/organization.

The program will highlight the development of athletes, coaches, officials and volunteer administrators by being able to provide tax receipts for donations. The goal of the New Brunswick Amateur Sport Fund is to enhance the development of sport participation in New Brunswick to ensure that participants have the opportunity to improve their talents to reach their full potential. The New Brunswick Amateur Sport Fund is a fundraising program established for the continued and future development of amateur sport in New Brunswick. It represents the culmination of sport-specific funds established by each participating provincial sport organization. Participation in the program is voluntary and available to members in good standing with Sport NB. The New Brunswick Amateur Sport Fund provides an opportunity for individuals who have benefited from sport to contribute financially to sport programs for current and future generations. Cash donations, monthly/annual contributions, planned financial gifts or gifts of valuable property are encouraged. Contributions result in recognition and significant tax savings for the donor. Funds raised are used to ensure quality-sporting opportunities will continue to be available to everyone in New Brunswick. Each participating organization will develop directed program(s) within their respective fund to channel dollars toward specific causes. For example, a scholarship fund may be established to assist athletes to continue to meet both sport and academic goals, a Canada Games fund may be established to cover costs of team development, or a basic legacy fund may be used to cover ongoing operational costs. The applications are bound only by the creativity of the Provincial Sport Organization. The mission of the Canadian Council of Provincial and Territorial Sport Federations (CCPTSF) is to provide the means for Canada's Provincial and Territorial Sport Federations to network, enhance their effectiveness, and manage the National Sport Trust Fund (NSTF).
