What is Jumpstart?

Jumpstart Charities give kids a sporting chance.

Kids aged 4 to 18 years from families in financial need can receive funding to help with registration fees.

Participating in sport helps kids develop physical and social skills. It helps build self-esteem. By helping kids get into the game, we’re equipping them with determination and we’re giving them confidence.

Does my child qualify?

Families must meet financial need criteria in order to qualify for Jumpstart funding. Jumpstart follows Revenue Canada’s Low Income Cut-offs (LICOs) which are based on a family’s size, the size of their community and the total family unit income (before tax).

Where do I apply?

Jumpstart funding application forms are available online at www.whiterockcity.ca and at each of our recreation centres: White Rock Community Centre (15154 Russell Ave.) Centennial Park Leisure Centre (14600 North Bluff Rd.) Kent Street Activity Centre (1475 Kent St.)
