Purpose and Objectives of the Program
The Sports For Kids Foundation provides grants and other support, through an application and selection process, to organizations and individuals engaged in activities that enable children to participate in sports or cultural activities.
Opportunities for children to experience sports and culture or the arts vary according to regional and family circumstances. By supporting organizations and individuals engaged in such activities through grants, we seek to ensure that children have opportunities to experience sports and culture, thereby contributing to their sound physical and mental development and the cultivation of well-rounded character.
