CANADIAN TIRE JUMPSTART
Kids aged 4 to 18 from families in financial need can receive funding to help with registration fees, equipment and/or transportation. Only one sport or activity is covered for each application. Children can be funded for successive seasons in an activity up to a maximum of $300 per activity. The annual maximum is $300.
Jumpstart recommends following 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).
View the LICO chart here https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0122/8124/9892/files/LICOs-2018-eng.pdf?642206
To see if your family meets the financial need criteria to qualify for Jumpstart funding, here’s how to determine where your total family unit income (before tax) falls within the LICO table:
Find the size of your family unit down the left-hand side. Find your community size across the top.
Where the column and row meet is the LICO for the family unit size in the community.
Cheques are never sent to the parent/guardian directly, they are sent to the organization.
