 FUNDS NOW AVAILABLE

SPORTSTART - Funding Assistance for Families

SportStart is a funding scheme available to families where financial hardship is a barrier to participation in physical activity. 

Funding is available for 5-16 year olds in the Nelson Tasman region.  You can apply for up to $30 twice a year/ per child/ per family. For example a child can receive assistance to participate in a summer and a winter sport. 

The purpose of the SportStart is to allow more children and young people to take part in physical activity opportunities - by providing some financial assistance. We believe with the support of sports clubs and organisations across our region we will be able to encourage and support more young people into sport and physical activity thereby directly contributing to the health of both the individual and the community. 

Applications can only be made through clubs or organisations that have registered with the SportStart programme as a provider. To register CLICK HERE to download the SportStart Providers Registration form post to SportStart, P O Box 3197, Richmond, Nelson 7050 or email to address listed below.

The grant is paid directly to the club or organisation by way of cheque or online payment. If there is a shortfall the family will have to pay the outstanding amount. Notification of funding assistance will be made promptly to both the organisation and the applicant.
