Grants and Contributions
About this information
In June 2016, as part of the Open Government Action Plan, the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) committed to increasing the transparency and usefulness of grants and contribution data and subsequently launched the Guidelines on the Reporting of Grants and Contributions Awards, effective April 1, 2018.
The rules and principles governing government grants and contributions are outlined in the Treasury Board Policy on Transfer Payments. Transfer payments are transfers of money, goods, services or assets made from an appropriation to individuals, organizations or other levels of government, without the federal government directly receiving goods or services in return, but which may require the recipient to provide a report or other information subsequent to receiving payment. These expenditures are reported in the Public Accounts of Canada. The major types of transfer payments are grants, contributions and \'other transfer payments\'.
Included in this category, but not to be reported under proactive disclosure of awards, are (1) transfers to other levels of government such as Equalization payments as well as Canada Health and Social Transfer payments. (2) Grants and contributions reallocated or otherwise redistributed by the recipient to third parties; and (3) information that would normally be withheld under the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act.

Funding to Advance Gender Equality in Canada
ON16245
This 57-month project will reduce barriers to stable employment and opportunities for advancement for women working in not-for-profit sectors in Ontario. Working with a project advisory committee, key stakeholders and network members, the organization will conduct a gender analysis of systemic conditions which contribute to precarious work. The project will lead to the development and promotion of new practice and policy solutions that address fair wages, pensions and other benefits, equal rights at work, and measures to improve and sustain government investment in the sector. Promising approaches and demonstration models will be piloted through partner agencies and will be shared with government policy makers, funders, and sector leaders to promote their uptake. Results will also be disseminated amongst broader stakeholders in order to strengthen coordinated responses to achieving decent work reforms for women in the not-for-profit sector.
Original supplemental amount is being used to expand the work of the current project and cover the cost of mobilizing additional research to the impact of labour policies in the non-profit sector, particularly for Francophone non-profit organizations in Ontario.
Additional supplemental funding will be used to continue to developing research and expanding outreach to create stronger networks to advocate for women economic security in the “care sector” revealed by COVID-19.

The project will mobilize stakeholders from the housing sector, federal and provincial institutional partners, as well as women’s and community organizations to implement systemic changes, based on gender-based analysis, that will be piloted in cooperative housing projects in three Montreal boroughs. The development of gendered practices will bring about optimal conditions for women residents' on-going participation in decisions that affect them in their cooperative housing.

Girls on Boards
NA16203
This 50-month project will provide young women aged 18-25 with meaningful leadership opportunities to build the capacity of community organizations’ boards to implement Gender-based Analysis Plus (GBA+) throughout their practices and policies. Young women will be provided with one-year assignments on community organizations’ boards and in consultation with their assigned board, will select a program or a policy within the organization that will be reviewed through a GBA+ lens. The organization will also evaluate the revised and enhanced project design, and implement governance training, “anti-oppression” training, increased local meet-ups, and increased ongoing support to participants from G(irls)20 staff.
Through the project, volunteer boards and organizations will be engaged to consider gender equality when making decisions that are shaping their policies and programs, and a pool of organizations interested in improving their board diversity will be created. Best practices will be shared widely among volunteer organizations.
