Employment and Social Development Canada invites organizations to apply for funding under the National AccessAbility Week call for proposals to promote accessibility and disability inclusion. The call for proposals is under the Accessible Canada Fund – NAAW stream of the Social Development Partnerships Program – Disability component (SDPP-D). The call for proposals supports the goal set by the Accessible Canada Act of building a country, free of physical, societal and attitudinal barriers, as well as the Disability Inclusion Action Plan, the Government’s blueprint for change to make Canada more inclusive for persons with disabilities. 

Up to $2 million over two years is available to support up to 20 projects that will help:

• improve understanding and knowledge among Canadians about accessibility and disability inclusion, including through NAAW activities taking place in 2025 and 2026;
• reduce stigma and attitudinal barriers towards persons with disabilities; and,
• share best practices and lessons learned within the disability community on NAAW activities, to help support the broader culture change objectives of the Accessible Canada Act.

Funding amount: Up to $100,000 or $200,000 (with special requirements) for a project that is up to 2 years

Who can apply: Eligible organizations can apply for up to $200,000 for projects that increase awareness through National AccessAbility Week (NAAW) activities

Submission Deadline: July 17, 2024, at 3 p.m. (EDT)
