The Social Development Partnerships Program - Disability Component (SDPP-D) is a grants and contributions program that seeks to improve the participation and social inclusion of persons with disabilities in all aspects of Canadian society. SDPP-D provides operating and project funding to not-for-profit organizations.
The programs national operating funding stream was renewed in 2017 under the principles of a Performance and Accountability Framework (Framework).The collaboration of the disability community was essential to informing the direction of the program renewal. The Framework addresses the main objectives identified by the disability community:
- fairness – ensure that eligible organizations can apply for operating funding through a competitive process
- transparency – provide a more open and transparent process
- predictability – bring greater stability and potential sustainability to funded recipients
- accountability – implement reporting by recipients on performance, and expected outcomes to strengthen accountability for the use of public funds
SDPP-D National Operating Funding supports capacity building efforts of national not-for-profit disability organizations in 4 key capacity areas:
- governance and accountability
- effective leadership and operations
- developing and maintaining partnerships
- measurable impact
The funding envelope for this Call for Proposals (CFP) is $6,000,000 annually, for a total of $18,000,000 over 3 years.
Note that over this 3-year funding period, ESDC will work with organizations towards a more equitable and sustainable funding model. Following this transition period, any subsequent Calls for Proposals will seek to balance the needs of organizations within the available funding envelope, using levers such as a maximum funding ceiling applicable to all organizations.
The maximum funding available per agreement will be as follows:
Organizations currently funded under the SDPP-D national operating stream can apply for up to their current funding allocation or up to the maximum eligible amount of $200K annually ($600K over 3 years) – the higher of the 2.
Organizations not currently funded under the SDPP-D national operating stream can apply for up to $200K annually ($600K over 3 years).
It is estimated that 20 to 35 agreements could be funded through this process.
Agreements are expected to be in place beginning April 1, 2023.
The objective of this CFP is to support the capacity of national disability organizations to meaningfully and measurably increase the social inclusion of persons with disabilities in Canadian society.
