Grant and Funding Programs Offered by Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority (SLGA)

The Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority is a provincial authority that combines regulation with direct funding activity. In addition to licensing liquor, cannabis, and gaming activities, SLGA administers the charitable gaming grant program for eligible charitable and religious organizations across Saskatchewan.

The charitable gaming stream is the clearest grant function on the site. The authority states that eligible organizations may receive a grant equal to 25% of net proceeds from charitable gaming events, up to $100,000 per fiscal year. The grant is tied to licensed gaming activity and is paid after the required reporting is submitted.

SLGA’s funding-related work primarily serves charities and religious organizations that conduct bingo, raffles, breakopen sales, Texas Hold’em poker tournaments, and Monte Carlo events. The site also indicates that SLGA funds problem gambling prevention and awareness initiatives sponsored by Saskatchewan Health and supports responsible use and education programming.

The organization publishes eligibility information, FAQs, contact details, and processing guidance for charitable gaming grants. It also notes that larger grant claims may require an independent audit before payment, which shows a structured accountability process.
