Charity grant, formerly Ceridian Cares
Eligibility check
Dayforce Cares may help if the person is a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, your household has never had a Dayforce Cares grant, household income is within its limits, and you apply during a window, the next being December 1-14, 2026. Four quick questions. Nothing you choose leaves this page.
Question 1 of 4
Your answers fit the basic rules.
Applications open December 1-14, 2026, and a window can close early once the regional limit or budget is reached. Gather two quotes and your documents now, and apply on the first day if you can. Household income must also be within Dayforce Cares' limits.

Its grants are for Canadian citizens and permanent residents of Canada. Other programs may help, depending on your situation.

What can be covered
What the program lists, grouped by the equipment we supply. Each item links to the program's own pages.
The kind of lift is not stated: ask Dayforce Cares.
Case by case, without a set cap.
Nothing in that group.
Before you buy
Do not order until you have Dayforce Cares' written approval. The recipient then orders the equipment, and Dayforce Cares pays the vendor directly. From July 1, 2026, all approved grants are paid to vendors by credit card only. Approval lasts 6 months, and no extra money is given later if the price or quote changes.
How to apply
Online only, during a two-week window. The next is December 1-14, 2026. Have your documents and two quotes ready before it opens.
