Overview

The workforce capacity fund gives grants to public and private service providers to help them expand their capacity to deliver core clinical services to more children and youth in the Ontario Autism Program. This includes 2-year grants ranging from $50,000 to $400,000 in value.

We prioritize applications for the fund that aim to support families and service providers in northern, rural and remote communities, as well as francophone and Indigenous families, as they often face unique challenges.

The fund is one initiative under the Ontario Autism Program capacity action plan.
