Whether you prefer drinking hot chocolate and cozying up with a good book or showing off your adventurous side at the skating rink or on the slopes, winter has something for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And to celebrate this joyous season, <a href=\"http:\/\/grantwatch.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GrantWatch<\/a> will be sharing six grants that fund a variety of winter activities. These activities include skating, skiing, hockey, and snowboarding, as well as other festive events. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to an annual participation report from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outsidebusinessjournal.com\/advocacy\/trade-associations\/snowsports-industries-america\/sia-2019-2020-participation-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Snowsports Industries America<\/a> for 2019-2020, \u201c25.1 million Americans ages 6 and older participated in winter sports.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The report also showed that many of the people who participated in these sports had money. It stated that more than 50 percent of the participants fell into the highest income bracket. Winter sports are expensive, which is why it is even more important that there are grants for individuals and organizations to improve inclusivity for these activities. Grants are also important when it comes to creating safe places for people to play and enjoy these sports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Grants for the Winter Season<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Firstly, there are grants of up to $2,500 to Saskatchewan nonprofits, municipalities, schools, First Nations, and Canadian Forces Bases to support the operation of indoor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/grant\/163811\/grants-to-saskatchewan-nonprofits-agencies-and-schools-to-support-skating-and-curling-facility-operations.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ice rink facilities<\/a>. <\/li><li>There are also grants to Washington nonprofits in eligible counties for youth programs, activities, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/grant\/164201\/grants-to-washington-nonprofits-in-eligible-counties-for-youth-programs-activities-and-enrichment-opportunities.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">opportunities related to skating<\/a>.
