*Subject:* Information on the Enabling Accessibility Fund Calls for
Proposals


------------------------------



*Funding is available to improve accessibility and safety in your community
spaces and workplaces *

We wish to inform you of a current funding opportunity under the Government
of Canada’s Enabling Accessibility Fund (EAF). Businesses or organizations
could receive a grant of up to $100,000 through the EAF small projects
component to improve accessibility and safety for persons with disabilities.

Eligible organizations can apply for up to $100,000 for the construction,
renovation or retrofit of community facilities and workplaces, which could
include:

   - the construction of ramps, accessible washrooms, accessible doors and
   the installation of elevators; and/ or,
   - the provision of accessible information and communication technologies
   such as braille printers, accessible computer software, and visual alarm
   systems.

You can apply for this EAF funding until July 13, 2020, if you are:

   - an Indigenous organization (including band councils, tribal councils
   and self-government entities);
   - a territorial government;
   - a business with 99 full-time equivalent employees or less;
   - a not-for-profit organization; or
   - a municipality with a population under 125,000 as per the 2016 census
   data.



New for this Call for Proposals:

   - the Government of Canada is providing 100 percent of eligible project
   costs, up to a maximum of $100,000, to successful project applicants; and,
   -  flat rate costing to make it easier for applicants to apply for
   funding for ramps, accessible doors and accessible washrooms.

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, this funding process is offering more
flexibility where organizations that apply for funding under this CFP will
have more time to complete their projects (up to 24 months).  The
Department will also assess those organizations applying for projects that
fall under flat rate costing on a first come, first served basis in order
to expedite funding to successful projects.

You may apply now or inform others of this opportunity.

The Enabling Accessibility Fund has also launched a funding process under
the EAF Youth Innovation Component, which is currently accepting
applications until October 30, 2020. Let’s build a more accessible Canada!
