Alberta Figure Skating Foundation

Alberta Figure Skating Foundation is a not-for-profit organization that relies solely on donations, volunteer fundraising efforts and memberships to fund all of their programs, competitions and events. Thanks to the generosity of those who partner with AFSF, we are able to present about $50,000 in scholarships and awards every year to assist Alberta figure skaters.  Because we are a non-profit organization that relies on donations and fundraising, we are unable to support skaters from outside of this province.  We operate independently of Skate Canada and the Alberta/NWT/Nunavut Section, though we work in partnership with them and other organizations to promote and encourage the development of skaters in this province.

KidSport Alberta

KidSport is a national not-for-profit organization that provides grants to remove financial barriers to sport. One of every three families in Canada report struggling with the costs of their children’s sports, and KidSport exists to bridge this gap so all kids can play. Through a confidential application process, families across the country apply for grants from their local KidSport chapter so their children can play a season of sport. Nationally, KidSport consists of a network of 11 provincial and territorial KidSport bodies and nearly 200 community KidSport chapters. Since its creation in 1993, over 750,000 kids across the country have experienced the lifelong benefits of sport because of KidSport grants and your support.

KidSport believes in the value and benefit of kids playing organized sport and we know that sport will provide them with the opportunity to:

  • Become physically active
  • Improve their self-esteem and self-confidence
  • Learn life-long skills
  • Improve their academic performance
  • Make new friends
  • Share and celebrate their culture
  • Contribute to a strong, healthy community
