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.

Alberta Fires 2023 Matching Program
23323
The program is in response to the Alberta fires that started during the spring of 2023 that continue to impact communities. The Canadian red Cross Society (CRC) seeks to focus on support and service delivery gaps in the immediate and long term. It is anticipated that individuals and communities will need further assistance to support their evacuation, return to home and emergency recovery. This will be done by supporting community organizations who can assist throughout the immediate and prolonged impact of the crisis by additional supports and services to those impacted. As such the CRC plans to focus its programming on support to the community level.
