At Plan Institute, one of our major initiatives is to encourage financial security via uptake of the Registered Disability Savings Plan (RDSP). The RDSP is a powerful savings tool similar to a Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) but designed specifically for people living with a disability. It offers people the opportunity to save for the future, and also to take advantage of up to $90,000 the federal government may provide on their behalf. Even a small investment will attract a government grant contribution, so it can be an excellent return on investment.
