Community Services Fund
The Mission of Muscular Dystrophy Canada Chapters is to enhance the lives of those affected with neuromuscular disorders at the local level through the delivery of community based fundraising and/or service activities, the development and maintenance of support networks and the facilitation of connections between stakeholders.
The Funding Program was developed to provide Muscular Dystrophy Canada Chapters with a vehicle to assist registered persons with a neuromuscular disorder within their community, by enhancement of the funding provided through Muscular Dystrophy Canada's equipment program, in addition to broadening funding options not currently available within and/or outside of Muscular Dystrophy Canada. Therefore, the CSF program will allow you as a registered client and member of a local Chapter to apply for funds to supplement what already may be being provided by your local Muscular Dystrophy Canada office or to apply for funding for programs and services outside of what is provided by the Muscular Dystrophy Canada equipment program:
- Respite Services for Caregivers
- Attendant Services
- Fees for formal adapted recreational programs, including summer camp
- Massage therapy, including insurance co-pay
- Physiotherapy, including insurance co-pay

- Environmental Control Units - Equipment repair & batteries
- Travel and registration support to attend a conference/ symposium that will benefit the quality of life of the individual with a neuromuscular disorder
