Sponsors
The generosity of our sponsors allows us to carry out our initiatives and achieve our goals. We are grateful for their support.
We are grateful to have received funding from Employment and Social Development Canada for a number of projects over the years. Currently, we are in receipt of a three-year capacity-building National Operating Fund grant through the Social Development Partnerships Program (Disability) (SDPP-D).
For the past few years, we have been the proud recipients of a Community Gaming Grant from the Province of British Columbia. This grant will support our Disability Planning Helpline and workshops, as well as other programs that help the disability community.
The Ministry of Social Development and Poverty Reduction has been a long-time supporter of our Access RDSP program and has recently provided us with funding to continue the work until 2028.
For many years, the May and Stanley Smith Charitable Trust has generously supported several of our educational initiatives including our Helpline, workshops, support for our affiliate partners, and more. We are grateful for their ongoing support.
TD Bank Group supports RDSP-related programs including our RDSP webinars and Disability Planning Helpline as part of the TD Ready Commitment.
Vancouver Foundation generously supports our Access RDSP project partnership including the Endowment 150 grant. Through this project we are able to provide supports and services around the RDSP and the DTC and spread awareness of this important savings tool.
Community Partners
Through our community partnerships we collaborate on projects and initiatives with the common goal of improving the lives of people with disabilities.
Through the Access RDSP partnership, BC Aboriginal Network on Disability Society is providing the essential component of doing outreach and providing RDSP support to Indigenous communities. Furthermore, we are working with BCANDS to adapt Safe and Secure: Seven Steps to a Good Life for People with Disabilities for the Indigenous community. We are very excited to be partnering with them on these initiatives.
Disability Alliance BC is an important partner within the Access RDSP partnership, providing the public with support around the Disability Tax Credit as well as doing RDSP outreach throughout BC. We are thrilled to be working with them.
Together with Prosper Canada we developed the RDSP Calculator which provides people with an easy way to try out various RDSP scenarios. We also created an online Future Planning Tool to help those living with disabilities and their families plan for the future! These initiatives would not have been possible without the support of Prosper Canada.
