Building Stronger Accessibility Funding Applications A 2024 study by Destinations International and CityDNA found that destinations with defined accessibility ownership and dedicated funding are significantly more likely to have active accessibility strategies in place. Successful accessibility funding efforts rely on clear internal ownership, cross-sector partnerships, and strong project design, including:  Define a measurable community need  Align funding requests with implementation outcomes

 Demonstrate cross-sector or community support  Use realistic budgets with phased delivery plans  Incorporate lived-experience input  Seek external review before submission  Ensure applications are clear, accessible, and compliant
