About the Manitoba Accessibility Fund
On April 14, 2021, the Honourable Rochelle Squires, Minister of Families and Minister Responsible for Accessibility announced the establishment of the Manitoba Accessibility Fund (MAF). The fund and its grant program will assist municipalities, non-profit organizations and businesses in Manitoba by providing financial support for projects that remove barriers for people with disabilities, and promote accessibility across the province.
The fund is a one-time, $20 million contribution to the Winnipeg Foundation. Beginning in 2022, the yearly return on investment will be used to provide grants of up to $50,000. The Winnipeg Foundation will manage and invest the endowment fund, whereas Manitoba Families will administer the annual grants program.
MAF 2023-24 Grant Program
The MAF Selection Committee submitted their recommendations for MAF grants in 2023/24 in May 16, 2023. These recommendations are currently being reviewed by the Minister responsible for Accessibility
All applicants will receive a decision letter of approval or non-approval once the Minister approves the final list of MAF project grant recipients in 2023/24.
Please stay tuned as communication about MAF grant recipients in 2023/24 will be sent in the next few weeks.
As part of the MAF application for 2023-24, all organizations must complete a MAF project budget form (an excel worksheet) and attach with their application submission. The budget form will be available in advance of the intake launch date to help with project planning.
