How is the Canadian Tire Jumpstart program delivered?
• Canadian Tire Jumpstart has a network of more than 310 local chapters across Canada. • Chapter members are volunteers committed to helping kids get active including Canadian Tire dealers and petroleum agents, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Canada, Parks and Recreation, and the YMCA-YWCA. Together, these community leaders discreetly identify financially disadvantaged children that might benefit from the program. • Once identified, Canadian Tire Jumpstart provides a grant up to a maximum of $300 per qualifying child per session (i.e., spring/summer, fall/winter) to the non-profit or charitable organization coordinating the sport or recreational activity. Since each child’s financial needs are unique, Canadian Tire Jumpstart’s grant goes towards equipment, registration and/or transportation costs.
