Community Grant
The Municipality of
Springfield Community Services Department awards grants to various non-profit
community groups requiring financial assistance. The intent of this funding is
to increase access to recreation programming for all residents in Springfield
by reducing barriers to participation and facilitating the delivery of
activities/programs that address existing gaps.
The Springfield Kids First program is a
fee subsidy program which provides Springfield residents with lower annual incomes
(see chart below), the necessary funds to register for recreation programs in
Springfield (up to 50% of total program fees). Springfield believes that participation
in recreation programs builds not only healthy residents but healthy
communities, while enhancing overall quality of life.
