The program provides funding for projects delivered by third-party organizations in communities across Canada. These projects provided persons with disabilities with skills training, self-employment activities, job placements, and a range of other employment and wrap-around supports.

The purpose of the Employment Strategy is to close the employment gap between persons with disabilities and those without. The Opportunities Fund program funds projects that align with and advance the three goals of the Strategy, which are:
