The grant program assists in the development of sport, culture and recreation programs by providing funds to non-profit community organizations operated by volunteers.   The Sask Lotteries Community Grant Program is guided by the following: It provides access to sport, culture and recreation activities for all Saskatchewan people regardless of age, sex, ethnicity, economic status, physical or mental ability. It provides funds to community non-profit volunteer organizations in support of sport, culture and recreation programs. It allows communities to establish local priorities. It stipulates that all participating groups, from administration to beneficiary, are responsible for ensuring complete and accurate accounting.   ELIGIBILITY Who is eligible? First Nation band councils, northern settlements and municipal governments (city, town, village, organized hamlet or rural municipality) are eligible to apply. These authorities distribute funds to local non-profit volunteer community groups to provide programs.   How are eligible amounts determined? Grant amounts are determined by population. The minimum grant is $250. Inter-community cooperation is extremely important in the development of effective programs. Funds can be allocated to another jurisdiction in order to enhance access to high-quality programs as long as no outstanding grants exist. (Ex. The Village of A is 20 km from the Town of B. A and B can pool funding to provide one program for both centres. Authorities receiving funds from another centre must acquire the signature of a mayor/reeve/chief of the other authority.)   PROGRAM OBJECTIVE The goal of the program is to get people involved in sport, culture and recreation activities by enabling communities to address the needs of local residents. A portion of the total grant must be used for programs aimed at increasing participation for under-represented populations within your community. Examples include indigenous people, seniors, women, youth at risk, economically disadvantaged, persons with a disability and single-parent families. The under-represented requirement can be met by including under-represented populations in regular programs and/or by creating special programs to meet their needs.
