Did you know that CrossFit Durst is an approved sport provider with the Arnold Anderson Sports Fund (AASF). This fund helps families secure funding for youth sports, including our year-round Youth and Teens programs.
Here’s some information from their website on who can receive support:
“AASF considers the social and economic barriers facing the athlete’s family when determining eligibility for funding. Applicants must be residents of Brantford, the County of Brant, or Six Nations municipalities. Guidelines are based on the number of children your family is eligible to claim as stated on your Child Care Benefit notice and whether other assistance has already been provided for the current registration period.”
This program is available for youth ages 0-17, and you can receive up to $350.00 per child, per calendar year. Here’s a bit more about the application process:
- Applications are filled out by the primary caregiver, specifically the individual who receives the Child Care Benefit Statement (CCB) for the child.
- Once submitted with the correct information and documents, the Applications Committee will review the application.
- If approved, the funds are made payable directly to the sports organization. A letter or email will be sent to the applicant with the final status of the application.
- Application status can also be viewed online by the Sports Registrars through the Online Application Database. Sports organizations can contact the office for login details.
The entire process can take between 2-3 weeks. Applicants are encouraged to apply a month before the sport’s start date. Applications submitted after the start date will not be accepted.
We believe that all youth should have access to sports, and we see the confidence, strength, and performance that kids gain from our programs. If your family isn’t eligible for this program but you know someone who might benefit, please share this information. If you have the means to donate and support the fund, consider making a contribution.
Let’s spread the word, make a donation, or comment on this blog post to increase its reach. Together, we can get our kids moving and thriving.
