Typically Creative Kids helps families by offering individual grants to assist with lesson costs. However, many times, funding a whole program is more effective. That’s why we are introducing the Creative Kids Program Fund! Open now for applications.

What is the Creative Kids Program Fund?

The Creative Kids Program Fund supports quality programming that is primarily artistic or cultural. We value programs that build community and enhance children and youth’s mental health, inclusion, well-being, confidence, personal expression, and growth.

We also aim to reduce social barriers: programs that are youth-led; programs in rural communities; programs that uplift equity-deserving kids such as Indigenous youth, kids who are new to Canada, people of colour, people with disabilities, 2SLGBTQ+ youth, or people struggling with mental health are high priorities for the Creative Kids Program Fund.

Who can apply?

Youth, community leaders, Creative Kids service providers, school counselors or mental health support teams, and non-profit organizations can apply.

Creative Kids service providers are eligible, but have best results when meeting a specific community need that explains the need for program funding.

Activities can be held at a school or include partnerships with schools, but cannot be part of the school curriculum.

Applicants with unresolved SaskCulture grant reports are not eligible.

How much can I apply for?

You can request a maximum of $6,000.
