Combatting Trafficking in Persons (CTIP) Grant

Overview

The Government of Alberta, in partnership with the Alberta Centre to End Trafficking in Persons (The AC), is committed to the fight against human trafficking. Together, we are working closely with community partners to support anti-trafficking efforts across the province. The Combatting Trafficking in Persons (CTIP) Grant has been established to enhance organizational capacity to respond to trafficking, increase specialized, trauma-informed supports and reduce the risk of victimization and re‑exploitation for survivors.

Funding

Applicants may submit budget requests that reflect their needs. The CTIP Grant Program’s total funding is limited. Projects may be recommended for a lesser amount following consultation with the applicant. Priority will be given to Indigenous and/or survivor-led projects, recognizing that while Indigenous Peoples make up approximately 4% of Canada's population, 50% of individuals who have experienced human trafficking identify as First Nations, Métis or Inuit. Terms of up to 2 years are available for eligible applicants. Applicants applying for 2 years of funding must outline budget expenditures for both years.

Eligibility

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

• registered non-profit organization and/or registered charity that is in good standing
• community-based coalition or network (with a designated fiscal agent)
• Indigenous communities, including Tribal Councils, First Nations and Metis Settlements

How to apply

Step 1. Prepare your application

Refer to the CTIP Guidelines, Application Preview and Reporting and Data Collection Requirements documents for grant guidelines, eligibility requirements and reporting obligations.

The Reporting and Data Collection document outlines the types of information applicants will be expected to report on throughout the funding cycle. If a program includes more than one program type, applicants must meet the requirements for each applicable type.

Step 2. Obtain supporting documents

• A copy of the applicant’s most recent audited financial statements.
• Budget Request Template (Excel) with attestation statement completed.
• Letter of support from partner organizations (if applicable).
  • If an applicant’s submission requires significant support or cooperation with a partner organization to be successful, you are required to submit a letter of support from that organization outlining the partnership and how you will work together to achieve shared outcomes.
  • A letter of support is not required for day-to-day partner activities such as information sharing or referrals.

Step 3. Submit the application package
