The Government of Alberta, in partnership with the Alberta Center to End Trafficking in Persons (The AC), is committed to combating human trafficking. Together, we work closely with community partners to support anti-trafficking efforts across the province. The Combating Trafficking in Persons (CTIP) grant was created to strengthen organizational capacity to respond to trafficking, increase specialized and trauma-informed supports for victims and survivors of human trafficking, and reduce the risk of victimization and re-exploitation for survivors.

Funding

Applicants can submit budget requests that reflect their needs. Although there is no financial cap on funding requests, total funding for the CTIP grant program is limited. Projects led by Indigenous people and/or survivors will be prioritized. Projects may be recommended for a lesser amount after consultation with the applicant. Terms of up to two years are available to eligible candidates.

Eligibility

Applicants must be located in Alberta and be one of the following:

• registered non-profit organization and/or registered charity in good standing
• coalition or community network (with a designated financial agent)
• Indigenous communities, including tribal councils, First Nations settlements and Métis settlements
