The Accessible Canada funding opportunity supports projects tied to National AccessAbility Week from 2027 to 2029.
Its goal is to help more Canadians learn about accessibility, inclusion, and the value people with disabilities bring to workplaces and communities.
Funded projects should:
- Promote the Accessible Canada Act
- Raise awareness about accessibility
- Support more inclusive workplaces and communities
- Share real stories, lessons, and project results
Who is eligible and who can apply for Accessible Canada funding?
Eligible applicants may include:
- Not-for-profits that serve persons with disabilities
- Health or social service groups partnered with disability organizations
- Schools partnered with disability organizations
- Municipalities partnered with disability organizations
- Indigenous organizations, including band councils, tribal councils, and self-government entities
Applicants must show that one or more disability organizations are helping lead the project. This is a big part of the program’s “Nothing Without Us” approach, which is also part of Canada’s Disability Inclusion Action Plan.
Individuals and provincial or territorial governments cannot apply.

Does the funding support wheelchair accessible vehicles or mobile medical units?

That said, transportation is one priority area. Equipment rental, lease, maintenance, and capital assets may be eligible if they directly support approved project work.
