Creative Kids helps Saskatchewan children participate in art, music, dance, theatre, and a variety of cultural activities.

COVID-19 NOTICE: Funded activities will be subject to the Government of Saskatchewan’s health and safety precautions during the COVID-19 pandemic.

WHO IS ELIGIBLE?

  • Saskatchewan children ages 4 to 19 – children must be 4 years old before the application deadline
  • Families with the greatest financial need
  • Artistic and cultural activities. Here is a list of eligible activities
  • Funding is paid to the service provider

FINANCIAL NEED

Creative Kids funds children from families with financial barriers to artistic and cultural activities. Based on the number of applications received and funds available, most supported families have incomes less than $35,000.

Applicants will need to include a Notice of Assessment from Canadian Revenue Agency for each parent in the home.

WHAT DOES CREATIVE KIDS COVER?

Creative Kids may provide up to $750 per child for their activity. Funding resets every June 1. For instance, an applicant could be funded for a maximum of $750 for September to May dance classes.

Instrument rental or purchase costs, art supplies, dance shoes, and dancewear are eligible for funding up to $150 if applying to take a class. Please note that these items will only be considered if there is any remaining from the $750 after class costs are covered.

We support local art, music, and dancewear stores and are unable to purchase items online or at box stores such as Michael’s and Walmart. We cannot reimburse for items already purchased.
