Activity Subsidy Fund
Through its fundraising activities, the Recreation Committee provides limited subsidies to physically, mentally or socially challenged individuals requiring financial assistance to participate in community recreation activities.
This program is also known under the name "Niagara Falls A.L.I.V.E." (A Locally Initiated Volunteer Endowment Fund).
Funding requests are considered for both organized team recreation activities (e.g. soccer, baseball, hockey, etc.) as well as for individual recreation pursuits (e.g. swimming, skating, etc.).
Financial assistance may be available for registration fees as well as for necessary equipment.
In addition to the Committee’s own fundraising activities, donations to this fund from individuals and/or groups in the community are encouraged.
More information including an application form can be found here.
