Global Opportunities for Associations (GOA)
Approved GOA Recipients - 2010-11
Global Opportunities for Associations currently provides over $2 million a year for national associations so they can engage in international business development activities, on behalf of their members, for the benefit of an entire industry.
The 30 successful associations for 2010 will receive non-repayable contributions to support them in undertaking new or expanded international business development activities in strategic markets and sectors.
Through Global Opportunities for Associations, the Government of Canada is helping Canadian industry move into new areas or expand existing ones. Encouraging associations and their members to engage in the global marketplace is important because Canada’s economic prosperity depends on being active in the global economy.
Funding for Canadian business associations announced today will also help the government reach out to the private sector and ensure Canadian companies see and seize global business opportunities.
Eligible associations can apply for funding once per year under the guidelines on the Global Opportunities for Associations website.
