Aboriginal Friendship Centre Program : The primary objective of the Aboriginal Friendship Centre Program is to improve the quality of life for Aboriginal peoples in an urban environment by supporting self-determined activities which encourage equal access to, and participation in Canadian society; and which respect and strengthen the increasing emphasis on Aboriginal cultural distinctiveness.

In 1988, the National Association of Friendship Centres successfully negotiated the Aboriginal Friendship Centre Program, which ensured the availability of permanent funding from the Department of the Secretary of State for core and specific component funding for friendship centres. Core funding provides centres with funding for staff and basic operations. Prior to the 1988 agreement, friendship centres received core funding from the federal government through the Native Friendship Centre Program, a component program of the Migrating Native Peoples Program, established in 1972.

On March 29, 1996 a Memorandum of Understanding was signed between the NAFC and the Minister of Communications (Department of Culture and Heritage) which transferred administrative and managerial control of the AFCP to the NAFC. The Transfer Agreement respecting the Aboriginal Friendship Centre Program defines the obligations of the Department of Culture and Heritage in funding the AFCP, which provides funding for the NAFC, the Provincial and Territorial associations (PTAs), and individual friendship centres. It also defines the obligations of the NAFC in administering the delivery of the funds. The Transfer Agreement also determined the amount of funding that was offered to the NAFC, the PTAs, and the friendship centres for the fiscal years 1996/1997 to 2000/2001. The AFCP was previously the responsibility of the AFCP Coordinator / Program manager and is now the responsibility of the Program Officer.
