About World Partnership Golf
World Partnership Golf was launched nationally in 2000 by Aga Khan Foundation
Canada as an engaging way for Canadians to raise funds and awareness about
international development iniatives that help poor and vulnerable communities in
Africa and Asia.
The tournaments, held in
six cities
across Canada, offer participants the opportunity to get actively involved in
helping to address the cause of global poverty. Individuals and businesses with
a willingness to help make the world a better place can participate in World
Partnership Golf in a variety of ways, from putting together foursomes to
sponsoring and promoting tournaments across the country.
Some World Partnership Golf highlights include:
- An exciting national golf program conducted in Montreal, Ottawa,
Toronto, Edmonton, Calgary and Vancouver.
- More than 800 golfers participate.
- More than 200 corporate sponsors support World Partnership Golf events.
- A variety of sponsorship opportunities are available at each tournament
to provide those involved with maximum exposure.
- Net fundraising proceeds help Aga Khan Foundation Canada leverage
additional support from the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA)
and other donors around the world.
- Lots of extras - like special gifts & prizes/great food etc.
The tournaments support poverty alleviation programs, an initiative of Aga
Khan Foundation Canada that focus on education, health care, rural development
and strengthening community-based organizations.
