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.

Supporting Women’s Access to Employment, Retention, Advancement in male dominated fields

Agreement Number:

NA230378

Duration: from Oct 13, 2023 to Mar 31, 2026
Description:

This 30-month project will address women's systemic barriers to job retention and representation in male-dominated fields. Build a Dream aims to improve equity and women's economic participation and prosperity across workplaces such as the Skilled Trades, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics), law enforcement, emergency response and entrepreneurship. To do so, the organization will build strategic relationships with key stakeholders, community leaders, and businesses and perform an environmental scan to capture existing knowledge and best practices to enhance the industry's capacity and leadership to help women, including students and women from underrepresented communities, pursue careers in male-dominated fields.

Build a Dream will offer career development opportunities by connecting industry collaborators, students, and job seekers through virtual conferences, career discovery exhibitions, workshops, and hands-on learning programs. Also, the organization will develop a mentoring program and host a leadership symposium highlighting initiatives to improve women's economic pathways across these fields. An awareness campaign and open dialogue on gender perspectives and stereotypes will also be launched.

At the end of the project, the organization will have contributed to the elimination of systemic, persistent and prejudicial barriers to women's equality in male-dominated sectors and the creation of a more diverse and inclusive workforce by changing norms and attitudes, encouraging collaboration, networking and improving access to resources that enable women to participate fully and thrive.
