Saskatchewan Communities Benefit From $1.9 Million in Charitable Gaming Grants

Released on September 10, 2014

The Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority (SLGA) is providing approximately $1.9 million to more than 900 organizations across the province as part of SLGA’s charitable gaming grant program.

“The financial boost provided through the charitable gaming grant program will ensure many worthwhile community projects and programs remain vibrant,” Minister responsible for SLGA Don McMorris said.  “Our government is pleased to provide these grants to groups and organizations that support and assist sports, recreation, culture, education and other important services in communities throughout Saskatchewan.”

Among the grants provided by SLGA this quarter: Prince Albert and surrounding area received $150,877; Meadow Lake and surrounding area: $104,580; Moose Jaw and surrounding area: $73,681; Yorkton and surrounding area: $63,271; and Estevan and surrounding area: $58,146.

The quarterly grants are based on a percentage of net proceeds raised through licensed charitable gaming activities such as bingos, raffles, breakopen tickets, Texas Hold’em poker and Monte Carlo events.  Charitable gaming reports submitted by groups are used by SLGA to automatically calculate grant amounts.
