Jumpstart Fundings
As a parent, you are responsible for helping your child develop their own unique personality and interests. The more time and resources you can dedicate to your child’s education, the more prepared they will be for the challenges of life. Fortunately, many organizations offer financial assistance for kids aged 18 and under for items such as sports equipment, uniforms, or registration fees. Both Jumpstart and KidSport have national programs that help thousands of children across Canada pursue their passion every year.
