By providing funding to not-for-profit organizations, the Social Development Partnerships Program (SDPP) helps to improve the lives of children and families, people with disabilities and other vulnerable Canadians.
The Program invests in organizations that support the well-being of Canadians – from developing a better understanding of the issues Canadians face, to providing greater access to information, programs and services. For example, organizations carry out projects to help families taking care of elderly parents while raising children; to help youth who are at-risk of dropping out of high school, and to increase participation, opportunities and accessibility for people with disabilities.
There are two funding components:
In addition, the SDPP provides funding for early childhood development in official language minority communities.
The Children and Families component of the SDPP invites not-for-profit organizations to apply for funding through calls for proposals. Each call for proposals has specific eligibility criteria, funding priorities and funding levels.
Organizations may apply for funding only when a call for proposals is open.
The call is now closed. We are not accepting applications at this time.
