Minister Responsible for LGS Jeremy Harrison said charitable gaming grants are one way the province supports local organizations.

“Our government is committed to the people of Saskatchewan and charitable gaming grants are one of the ways in which we deliver on that commitment,” Harrison stated in a statement.

“These gaming grants support charitable and nonprofit organizations involved in a diverse range of activities, including arts, culture and sport, hospital foundations, service clubs and more.”

Provincewide, Saskatoon received $49,911.20 and Regina received $47,054.88, with funding also distributed to more than 100 other communities across the province.

The grants are paid quarterly to organizations in good standing that conduct licensed charitable gaming activities such as bingos, raffles, raffles, breakopen ticket sales, Texas hold ’em poker tournaments and Monte Carlo events. Each grant equals 25 per cent of net gaming revenue, to a maximum of $100,000 per organization annually.
