About the CP Cares Program
The CP Cares Program assists Albertans with disabilities to achieve better quality of life by providing support with different levels of needs:
The Funding Request Program is open to paid members of CPAA, with a CP diagnosis to receive financial support, as an assistance with offsetting costs of adapted equipment, programs, camps, educational courses, treatments and therapies, medications, and items that would improve their quality of everyday life.
The Tech Fund Program is open to paid members of CPAA, living with various disabilities to receive financial support towards required electronics and adapted electronic devices that support communication and connections with the community
In order to benefit from these programs individuals must be a client of the CPAA for at least 3 months and be a member of the CPAA. Please note that you can only apply to one fund per year for a maximum request of up to $750, based on funds available. To join as a member to be eligible for funding, please click here.
The CP Cares Program is funded entirely through the CPAA’s own fundraising efforts, the UCP's Bellows fund and donations from generous members of our community.
