As part of a $45-million, three-year commitment to expand opportunities for people with disabilities, the Enabling Accessibility Fund supports community-based projects across Canada that improve accessibility, reduce barriers, and enable Canadians, regardless of physical ability, to participate in and contribute to their community and the economy. Approved projects will have strong ties to and support from their communities.
There are two kinds of funding under the Enabling Accessibility Fund: Small Projects Enabling Accessibility and Major Projects Enabling Accessibility.
The Call is now closed. We are not accepting applications at this time.
Small Projects Enabling Accessibility:
Provides grants of up to $50,000 for projects to renovate buildings, modify vehicles, and/or make information and communication more accessible.
