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 Combating Trafficking in Persons (CTIP) grant has been established to enhance organizational capacity to respond to trafficking, increase specialized, trauma-informed supports for both victims and survivors of human trafficking, and reduce the risk of victimization and re‑exploitation for survivors.

Funding

Applicants may submit budget requests that reflect their needs. While there is no financial cap on funding requests, the CTIP Grant Program’s total funding is limited. Projects that are Indigenous and/or survivor-led will be prioritized. Projects may be recommended for a lesser amount following consultation with the applicant. Terms of up to two years are available for eligible applicants.
