The provincial government has issued a call for applications for the 2024/25 Accessibility Grants.
The program replaces the Inclusion and Capacity Grants to align with Accessibility Act to remove barriers and ensure people with disabilities can participate in all aspects of society in Newfoundland and Labrador.
$325,000 has been set aside for Accessibility Grants in this year’s budget.
The Criteria for the grant program is split between two funding streams.
Stream 1 provides up to $15,000 for small to medium projects to improve accessibility in organizations and municipalities. This could include infrastructure work—such as building ramps or paving walkways—or accommodations in events—such as sign language interpretation or captioning services.
Stream 2 provides up to $25,000 for medium to large projects with a focus on developing innovative solutions to improve accessibility. This may include research projects, awareness campaigns or workshops.
The deadline for applications is May 31.
