Deadline: 24-Sep-20
The City of Canning is inviting applications for the Disability Access and Inclusion to support activities and/or enables access, inclusion and participation of people with disability, their families and carers in activities offered by not-for-profits clubs and associations.
The Disability Access and Inclusion Grant supports either of the following:
- Ssandalone activities which meet the grant objectives
- a complementary grant which will provide additional support to make an activity more inclusive. This may be awarded in addition to any other City of Canning grant and should be applied for at the same time and on the same application form. For example, you are applying to run a “have a go” event at your club with a Can-Do Grant. You would like to pay for a sign language interpreter to be present, for additional marketing costs to target the hearing impaired, and a fee for a consultant to work with your club to make activities more accessible.
Funding Information
