The support of the FSAB for intellectual disabilities and arts and culture can take the form of:
- One-time support for non-recurring projects allowing an organization to obtain the materials or resources needed to carry out a program
- Ongoing support for programs that work with clients within a well-defined framework and supported by an action plan demonstrating the relevance of the program and the partners involved
All requests must respond to the mission and values of the FSAB. It may happen that we exceptionally accept applications in other fields related to intellectual disabilities and arts and culture.
The FSAB focuses primarily on the greater Montreal area, with other contributions in the province of Quebec and exceptionally at the national
and international levels.
The FSAB favors organizations and initiatives with which it already has a well-established relationship
