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.

Strong Foundation for the Saskatchewan Queer Mental Health Collective
SO230214
Through this 25-month project, the Saskatchewan Queer Mental Health Collective (SQMH) will build stronger capacity of 2SLGBTQI+ community organizations and networks to advance 2SLGBTQI+ equality. It will address strengthening their organizational structure by incorporating as a non-profit organization, connecting with Saskatchewan-based queer and trans mental health providers, and will increase awareness to 2SLGBTQ+ people across Saskatchewan about the importance of affordable, qualified and affirming mental health care in their province. The project will include developing a constitution and bylaws that reflect the collective's mission and improving the outreach and communication with queer and trans individuals across Saskatchewan, particularly in rural areas.
This project will engage with 2SLGBTQ+ mental health practitioners across Saskatchewan to share knowledge, exchange best practices, and enhance their collective capacity to support their members in addressing the mental health needs of individuals within the community.
