A research and development program, SDPP supports activities of the social non-profit sector in accordance with the mandate of Human Resources Development Canada. These activities identify, develop and promote best practices and models of service delivery that are of national significance, and build community structural capacity to meet the social development needs and aspirations of groups which are or may be at risk. Organizational funding is intended to encourage the representative voice of people with disabilities as full and equal citizens in Canadian society by supporting and strengthening national voluntary organizations of persons with disabilities. It also helps build the capacity of such organizations and encourages the viability of critical partners. An application guide is available, on request, in large print, Braille and audio version.
