This federal grant pays for small construction, renovation, and technology projects that make a workplace more accessible for people with disabilities, such as ramps, accessible washrooms, automatic doors, and assistive technology. For-profit businesses are eligible to apply, alongside non-profits, Indigenous organizations, and local governments. Funding runs through an annual call for proposals, so timing matters. A business that wants to hire or retain employees with disabilities can use it to remove physical and technology barriers.
Review times vary by program, from a few weeks to a few months, so check the official page for its timeline. Grant money is usually paid after you sign a funding agreement, and cost-shared programs often reimburse you once you send proof of what you spent.
