Abilities Connect Fund application guide
THE ABILITIES CONNECT FUND
Grants for hiring and accommodating people with disabilities
Are you a business or not-for-profit organization that employs between five to
500 people? If so, through the Abilities Connect Fund you may qualify for:
• Up to $20,000 for the employment (co-ops, internships, part-time, fulltime)
of persons with a disability with preferences given to college/
university students or recent graduates with disabilities; and
• Up to $3,000 for the purchase of assistive devices, training, and
assessments for ANY employee(s) with a disability.
The Abilities Connect Fund, administered by the Ontario Chamber of
Commerce, seeks to encourage employers to leverage an untapped talent
pool to meet their skills requirements and raise awareness about the benefits
of hiring, training and integrating people with disabilities in the workplace.
