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.

Philippines-Canada partnership on nature-based solutions for climate adaptation
7456151 P012251001
This situation risks further marginalizing vulnerable communities, including women and Indigenous People. This project aims to support vulnerable communities in adapting to the impact of biodiversity loss and climate change by strengthening their resilience and supporting their access to natural resources and healthy ecosystems. The project aims to support the financing, capacity-building and learning necessary for gender-responsive, nature-based solutions to climate change and biodiversity loss.
Project activities include: (1) setting-up a nature-based solutions (NbS) grant facility that supports at least 20 NbS sub-projects in 18 communities. This includes key biodiversity areas, marine protected areas, critically endangered species, vulnerable women and Indigenous People communities; (2) assisting in technical and capacity building to at least 100 local beneficiaries to design and implement gender-responsive NbS projects; and (3) organizing participatory assessments on climate vulnerabilities and biodiversity loss to inform local planning and decision-making for climate adaptation. This project benefits at least 50,000 hectares of landscapes and seascapes, 500 representatives from civil society organizations (at least 50% women), and indirectly benefits about 6.1 million Filipinos from 6 highly vulnerable provinces and small island communities.
