No grants were recorded this quarter for Onion Lake, Marshall, the RM of Britannia or the RM of Wilton, according to the provincial grant list. BorderPulse has reached out to Lotteries and Gaming Saskatchewan to confirm whether any groups from those areas applied.
The grants equal 25 per cent of net revenue a charity raises through licensed gaming events, including bingos, raffles and Texas hold’em tournaments, to a maximum of $100,000 per group each year. The Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority calculates each payment based on financial reports submitted by the group.
Groups interested in applying can do so through SLGA’s charitable gaming licensing process.
