Social Development Partnerships Program ― Disability (SDPP-D)
The Disability component of the Social Development Partnership Program (SDPP-D) provides $11 million per year in grants and contributions to help ensure that people with disabilities benefit from the same quality of life as all Canadians. The Program supports innovative solutions to remove barriers through improved access to programs and services, and encourages a wide range of community-based initiatives that provide effective approaches to addressing social issues and barriers that people with disabilities face.
SDPP-D provides funding through grants and contributions to the not-for-profit sector for projects that meet the social development needs and aspirations of people with disabilities.
To promote the voice of people with disabilities, grants are provided to national disability organizations to:
- assist in building their capacity,
- increase their effectiveness, and/or
- encourage their viability as critical partners in furthering the disability agenda at the national level.
SDPP-D also provides contribution funding to not-for-profit organizations through: Social Development Projects, Accommodation Projects, and the Community Inclusion Initiative (CII).
SDPP-Disability invites not-for-profit organizations to apply for contribution funding through the 2009-12 SDPP-D Calls for Proposals. Each call for proposals has specific eligibility criteria, funding priorities and funding levels. Organizations may apply for funding only when a call for proposals is open.

Social Development Partnerships Program
The Social Development Partnerships Program (SDPP) helps to improve the lives of children and families, people with disabilities and other vulnerable Canadians. It invests in organizations that support the well-being of Canadians—from developing a better understanding of the issues Canadians face, to providing greater access to information, programs and services. For example, organizations carry out projects to help families taking care of elderly parents while raising children; to help youth who are at risk of dropping out of high school, and to increase participation, opportunities and accessibility for people with disabilities.
There are two funding components:
- Children and Families, and
- Disability
In addition, the SDPP provides funding for Early Childhood Development in Official Language Minority Communities.
