An initiative of Aga Khan Foundation Canada (AKFC), World Partnership Golf is Canada’s only national golf event dedicated to raising funds and awareness to fight global poverty. This annual tournament inspires Canadians to act locally to fight poverty globally. World Partnership Golf takes place in seven cities across Canada: Calgary, Edmonton, London, Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, and Vancouver.
Donations made through World Partnership Golf go directly to support AKFC’s programs in Africa and Asia. These initiatives improve health and nutrition, education, economic opportunity, agriculture and food security, and early childhood development. All of this work promotes gender equality, an active civil society, and environmental sustainability – to build strong, resilient communities and local institutions to sustain progress over the long-term.
Since 2000, World Partnership Golf has raised over $18 million for AKFC’s development programs, thanks to hundreds of dedicated volunteers, corporate sponsors, and individual donors across Canada.

“I am truly inspired each year with the dedication of volunteers and sponsors who come out to support World Partnership Golf. Now in its 25th year, World Partnership Golf serves to be one of the signature events that mobilizes corporate Canada in the fight against global poverty.
The incredible support from our sponsors, past and present, has led to hosting this event in major cities across Canada and shines a spotlight on how we can all create change for a better world.
Thanks to the vision and execution of Aga Khan Foundation Canada, we are making an impact!”

“On behalf of the AKFC team, I want to sincerely thank each of you for coming together in your respective cities, to take a swing at ending global poverty. Now more than ever, the world needs our support. Your passion, dedication and commitment to the cause ARE making a difference to those less fortunate who may never be able to say thank you in person. But deep down, there is a smile and a debt of gratitude as we make this world a better place for generations to come.“
