New for this Call for Proposals:
• the Government of Canada is providing 100 percent of eligible project costs, up to a maximum of $100,000, to successful project applicants; and,
• flat rate costing to make it easier for applicants to apply for funding for ramps, accessible doors and accessible washrooms.
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, this funding process is offering more flexibility where organizations that apply for funding under this CFP will have more time to complete their projects (up to 24 months).
The Department will also assess those organizations applying for projects that fall under flat rate costing on a first come, first served basis in order to expedite funding to successful projects.
