The Invasive Alien Species Partnership Program (IASPP) is an integral part of An Invasive Alien Species Strategy for Canada. This initiative is administered by Environment Canada, and managed cooperatively with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, and Fisheries and Oceans Canada. The Invasive Alien Species Partnership Program provides funding to provinces, municipalities, educational institutions and non-government organizations, as well as to other groups who are working in support of the goals of the National Strategy.  The goal of the IASPP is to engage Canadians in actions to prevent, detect, and manage invasive alien species in order to minimize the risk the species pose to Canada's natural capital.

Applicants are eligible for up to $50,000 in funding. Projects are chosen based on their ability to reduce the introduction and spread of invasive alien species, leverage partnerships and funds, create lasting benefits, enable Canadians to become actively involved in projects that address related threats, and improve the understanding and awareness of the issue in Canada.
