Applicant Programs

The Yukon Lottery Commission reviews funding applications from eligible applicants twice a year for a broad range of sport, arts, cultural and recreation projects that contribute to the development of recreation for the benefit and enjoyment of Yukoners. Funding approval is based on the merit of the project, how the applicant meets criteria, and many factors that may be considered as a result of representation and expertise of commission members.

Eligibility/Criteria

Volunteer non-profit societies and groups who have been organized and active for one year are eligible to apply. The applicant must demonstrate a strong volunteer component, community support through successful fundraising, and a need for financial assistance. A project having a significant positive impact on a community, if supported by the recognized local authority or authorities, may be considered for funding where no registered society exists.
