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.

Systemic Change to Strengthen Women’s Role in Northern Francophone Communities
WP240174
Through this 24-month project, Les EssentiElles will help advance Francophone women’s economic security and prosperity as well as their access to leadership and decision-making positions in Canada’s northern territories through systemic change. In particular, the project will address systemic barriers in northern Francophone communities by (1) conducting a study on the specific challenges Francophone women in each territory face surrounding economic prosperity and access to leadership positions, (2) supporting Francophone community organizations in adopting the study’s findings and recommendations, and (3) creating a roundtable of northern Francophone women where emerging issues can be addressed collaboratively. An external evaluator will measure and assess this systemic change project’s impact.

Alberta Equity: A Pro-Choice Initiative
WP230417
Through this 33-month systemic change project, Pro-Choice Society of Lethbridge & Southern Alberta will scale Covid-19 Reproductive Rights Response to advance women’s economic security and prosperity. It will scale by focusing on geographical expansion, information dissemination, physician support, and educational outreach.
To do so, the project will work to bolster the capacity of other Pro-Choice organizations, conduct network building activities, support physicians and healthcare providers through consultations and by facilitating training, and expand their educational outreach by building partnerships, public presentations, and community training sessions.
By the end of the project the organization will have addressed healthcare providers' and volunteer organizations' lack of capacity while increasing information dissemination and service access for those in need by evaluating and strategizing intersecting factors that prevent women's full bodily autonomy.
With the supplemental funds and extension provided in early 2026, the Pro-Choice Society of Lethbridge & Southern Alberta will enhance volunteer education and coordination, develop and deliver consent-based sex education for services that support youth in Southern Alberta and deliver student reproductive health training and expand the network of service providers. Through this they will further advance Gender Equality.
