Go Play Fund

The Go Play Fund was created with the intent of making recreation financially accessible to people of all ages. If a resident needs financial assistance to participate in an eligible recreational program or activity and doesn’t qualify for other financial assistance programs, then they can apply for assistance from the Go Play Fund. Unlike other programs that are exclusively targeted at youth, this program is open to people of all ages. Individuals are eligible for up to $200 per year.

Applicants must be referred to the Go Play Fund by a trusted community organization. To obtain an application form, inquire about trusted community organizations or ask questions about the Go Play Fund, please contact Veronica Deno, Active Living Manager, at or 902-755-8363.
