  What is Creative Kids?

Creative Kids is a new charitable giving program designed to reduce social and financial barriers for
children and youth who wish to participate in arts and cultural activities in Saskatchewan.

Modeled after the KidSport™ program, kids now have the opportunity to apply to Creative Kids to receive
funding up to a maximum of $750 per year to help reduce or eliminate costs associated with
participation in arts and cultural activities.

These funds can be used to decrease barriers to participation like registration fees, materials or even festival costs. Applicants must be able to demonstrate they have a need for financial assistance, and the activity they are applying for must be creative or cultural in nature.

Arts and cultural activity inspire creativity in our youth and encourage them to express themselves
and their ideas. This leads to increased self-confidence, self-esteem, and pride in their abilities.
