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.

AI Matching & Mapping B2Bs for Food

Knead Technologies is developing an AI-powered feature called SmartMatch, designed to optimize the matching process between food donors, recipient organizations, and volunteer delivery drivers. The project focuses on developing and refining AI algorithms to provide food rescue route suggestions for multiple food donor and recipient routes, and to make donor/recipient matching suggestions based on food type, quantity and availability. This innovative feature will help food rescue organizations make more effective and efficient logistic decisions, resulting in more food being rescued and redistributed.
