CADDRA relies greatly on the dedication of its volunteer Board, Advisory Council, and committee members, who contribute significant time and expertise to advance our mission.
Our work in education, training, research, and advocacy is funded through a diversified mix of revenue sources, including:
Membership fees
Conference and event registration
Sales of guidelines and educational courses
Grants from public and non-profit organizations
Importantly, no corporate funding is sought or accepted for the development, review, or publication of the Canadian ADHD Practice Guidelines.
Partnerships & Sponsorships
CADDRA receives limited support from pharmaceutical companies in the form of:
Sponsorship of the annual conference
Educational grants for specific CADDRA-proposed projects
All industry support follows strict independence and transparency standards:
Funding is never tied to promotional messaging or product endorsement.
CADDRA adheres fully to the RX & D Stakeholder Relations Collaborative Partnership Guiding Principles.
Conference sponsors have no influence over accredited program content or scheduling.
All agreements ensure CADDRA maintains sole control over all content, messaging, and activities.
In 2023, CADDRA received its first federal grant through Health Canada’s Substance Use and Addictions Program (SUAP) to develop CASUP, an online course for medical, healthcare, and substance use professionals on ADHD and substance use.
Our Commitment to Sustainable, Independent Funding
CADDRA continues to pursue a broad and balanced funding strategy to support our expanding educational, research, and advocacy initiatives. We are committed to ensuring financial stability while maintaining complete independence and integrity in all aspects of our work.
