14. Ministry of Economic Development and Employment and Infrastructure’s
EnAbling Change Program
Ontario is looking for non-profit organizations that want to be leaders in helping others meet the
requirements of the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005. The Accessibility
Directorate of Ontario of the Ministry of Economic Development, Trade and Employment
administers this funding program.
The EnAbling Change Program provides financial support and expertise to organizations so they
can educate an industry or sector on their obligations under the act. The program funds large-scale
projects that have an impact across the province.
The Accessibility Directorate of Ontario will share project development and implementation costs,
such as:
• Salaries for staff and consultants/contractors directly involved in the project.
• Production of products, such as publications.
• Development of a website or other informational materials.
• Project administration and coordination.
Partners must contribute a minimum of 25 per cent of the total project cost in funds or in-kind. The
Directorate will also share their expertise with successful organizations to support the success of
the projects.
