Project Announcement!
Beginning next month, Microboards Ontario will be supporting families with setting up and incorporating their Microboard AND help get those first few meetings under your belt. We’ll be providing families up to 60 hours of complimentary support to:
- Learn all you need to know about running and maintaining a Microboard
- Incorporate your non-profit, set up your by-laws, and much more!
Thank you for applying! 10 families will join our first cohort - scheduled to begin on February 18, 2025! This Project is funded by the Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services. *If you were unable to attend the information session on January 29, please send an email to [email protected] or [email protected] and we will send you the recording! |

A Microboard has one purpose: to support a person with a disability with living their best life, by assisting them in making decisions, and empowering them to express their goals for their life.

A Microboard May Be An Option If You Are:
|
You worry about your children’s future, even more so with a child with special needs. Having a Microboard gives the parent some relief that their child’s well being will be taken care of, with the decisions of the Microboard, which is made up of family and friends. In our specific case we have two daughters and once we are gone, all the decisions are made with a group and will be easier for her.
The Microboard knows the client a lot better and can make better decisions in regards to their health and well being in the future, Eg. Transitioning to different housing, what they enjoy doing, possible health decisions whether they are physical or mental health.
Accountability, you know that the funds are being used to the best of their ability to support the individual.
