In 2014, the government of BC declared October RDSP Awareness Month to help raise awareness about the Registered Disability Savings Plan (RDSP). The RDSP is the world’s first savings plan specifically designed for people with disabilities.
Even with little to no personal contributions, there are significant government contributions available to help many people in Canada with disabilities save for their future through the RDSP.

Access RDSP can help
Access RDSP is a partnership between Plan Institute, BC Aboriginal Network on Disability Society (BCANDS), and Disability Alliance BC (DABC). We provide free support and resources on the RDSP, every step of the way. BCANDS offers Indigenous-specific navigation through the process.
Our goal is to ensure that every eligible person has an RDSP to help them save for the future, but unfortunately, we know this isn’t the case. Even with the financial security that it can provide, many people who qualify still don’t have an RDSP. Of the people who are approved for the Disability Tax Credit (DTC) and could open an RDSP right now, only 31.5% of have an RDSP.
If you or someone you know has a disability, we encourage you to reach out! Contact us via email info@rdsp.com, or by phone at 1-844-311-7526 to find out more.
Help us spread the word!
We need your help to get the RDSP in the hands of as many eligible people as possible. Here are a few ways you can help:
- Tell someone about the RDSP
- Send them to rdsp.com to learn more
- Encourage them to contact their bank or financial institution about the RDSP
- Use the hashtag #RDSPAwarenessMonth throughout October
