I'm not going to go into politics here about funding for the disabled.
There is a common myth that people assume everything disabled people get are from government funding which is not true.
I did my research when I was asked to work with CNIB's staff. I did research for myself and found out that CNIB's major fundraising came from private donations. Only 23% came from government support whereas 65% came from public support. CNIB website
They make this information available for the public to see how they spend each dollar wisely.
Several times of the year, CNIB hosts functions in conjunction with the community and the monies are split between the agencies. United Way works in conjunction with CNIB for 3 months from January until April to do fund-raising.
I'm trying to show that there's misconception about non-profit organisations using government money when it's not quite the case and the government spending money on non-profit organisations as well.
Each year CNIB has to make sure they apply for the same grant they receive each year otherwise if they do not record each intervenor request for each client, they can expect to receive much less grant money.
The organisation has to make sure they account for each dollar and cannot have "leftover" grant money each year otherwise there goes less grant money the next fiscal year.
