The Play More Matching Grant is back! Flipgive is teaming up with Home Hardware to give out over $120,000 in grants, so kids can keep playing the games they love.
At FlipGive, we understand the challenges many Canadian families face as the costs of youth sports continue to rise. Registration fees, equipment expenses, and travel costs are just a few of the financial pressures that can make it difficult for kids to participate in the sports they love. That's why we're thrilled to announce the return of the Play More Matching Grant, a fantastic initiative aimed at supporting youth sports teams across Canada!
What is the Play More Matching Grant?
In partnership with Home Hardware Stores Limited, FlipGive is distributing over $120,000 in grants to ensure that more kids can stay in the game. This year, the first 1,200 teams to raise $100 will receive a $100 matching grant. It’s our way of helping to alleviate some of the financial burden that families face, making youth sports more accessible to everyone.
Why Are We Doing This?
The rising costs associated with youth sports can put a strain on many families. Our goal at FlipGive is to provide support so that no child has to miss out on the opportunity to play and grow through sports. We believe that every child deserves the chance to participate, learn valuable skills, and enjoy the camaraderie that comes with being part of a team.
