Yesterday, the Minister of Employment, Workforce Development and Disability Inclusion, Carla Qualtrough, launched a competitive call for proposals for national operating funding through the Social Development Partnership Program – Disability (SDPP-D) component.
National disability organizations can receive funding to increase the social inclusion of persons with disabilities in learning, work, and community life. Eligible organizations must build capacity in four key areas:
Application period will run from March 28, 2022 to May 13, 2022 at 5 pm Eastern Time (EST).

Funding provided through the SDPP-D aims to strengthen national disability organizations by supporting such things as: better strategic planning, enhanced recruitment and retention and improved analysis of policies, programs and services.
