Scholarships : The program directly addresses financial hardship by removing the cost barrier associated with youth sports participation. Many families in low-income neighborhoods cannot afford to enroll their children in organized activities. This program provides essential support so children can benefit from the developmental advantages of sports without placing financial strain on their families.
The child must express interest in participating in a recognized and organized sport (e.g., soccer, basketball, hockey, etc.) through school programs, local clubs, or municipal recreation leagues.
Our mission is to empower underprivileged youth through sports, education, and mentorship by building confidence, developing essential life skills, leadership, long-term growth and creating meaningful opportunities that inspire resilient, capable, and future-ready individuals .
We envision a future in which every young person—regardless of background—can learn, grow, and succeed through inclusive sports programs, educational opportunities, and community-driven guidance, shaping empowered and capable leaders of tomorrow.
El Jogo Bonito Foundation is guided by principles of integrity, inclusivity, respect, and wholehearted commitment. Our volunteer community plays a vital role in advancing youth empowerment, promoting equal access, fostering collaboration, and nurturing lifelong growth.
The child must come from a family with a household income at or below the Low-Income Cut-Off (LICO) as defined annually by Statistics Canada, adjusted for family size and regional factors.
Priority will be given to:
Full or partial coverage of sports registration fees
Equipment and uniform support
Transportation subsidies (if applicable)
All applicants will be notified in writing of the outcome of their application. Records will be maintained for audit purposes, and assistance will be granted without discrimination based on race, gender, religion, or nationality.
El Jogo Bonito Foundation's primary charitable purpose is to relieve poverty among underprivileged children and youth in Calgary by removing financial barriers to participation in sports. While we do not directly operate educational or mentorship programs, we provide targeted funding to enable access to these services through partnerships with qualified community organizations.
The El Jogo Bonito Foundation does not operate its own sports programs. Instead, we collaborate with pre-qualified community sports clubs in Calgary to provide access to organized sports for children from low-income families. These clubs are not agents or affiliates of the foundation but independent third-party service providers who agree to deliver sport participation opportunities in accordance with our charitable mandate.
Each sports club that receives support will enter into a written agreement with El Jogo Bonito Foundation outlining the following:
