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.

Communities for Gender Equality: Advancing Women's Economic & Leadership Opportunities
WP230431
Through this 31-month systemic change project, Community Foundations of Canada (CFC) will scale its Communities for Gender Equality cohort program to advance women’s economic security & prosperity, and representation in leadership and decision-making roles in each of WAGE’s 5 regions. It will scale to a new learning cohort of up to 20 of the 206 community foundations that serve communities from coast to coast to coast. The project will work with participating community foundations to: (a) incorporate gender equality into operational or board-level policies and practices ensuring gender parity and increasing women’s leadership in positions of power; and ∕ or (b) change internal pay structures and hiring policies making a sizable impact on their community’s gender-pay gap, © move assets into portfolios incorporating a gender lens and explore the expansion of the program to include intersectional investment programming on climate and sustainability, and (d) work with donors to start funds focused on supporting gender equality.
With the supplemental funding and extension provided in early 2026, CFC will host a series of virtual learning opportunities for the cohort of participating community foundations, host an in-person gathering of the cohort, and support each community foundation within the cohort to host a community conversation or event in their community that advances gender equality. Through this, the project will foster deeper learning and will further advance Gender Equality.
