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.

Archiving our Histories: Indigenous Contributions to Art Histories and Curatorial Studies
LHOV-04-040
“Archiving our Histories: Indigenous contributions to Art Histories and Curatorial Studies” is a large-scale project led by the Indigenous Curatorial Collective / Collectif des commissaires autochthones (ICCA) to digitize all exhibition ephemera as it pertains to Indigenous curatorial practice, as well as build skills and resources required to preserve Indigenous curatorial histories. Digitization of floorplans, brochures, photographic documentation, respondent texts from writers or artists, transcripts of panel discussions or talks, exhibition catalogues or publications that are rare, hard to find, or where circulation is very limited. Through our partnership we will build a strategy for housing these digitized archives, learn how to organize database materials, and build the tools necessary for managing the archive and database into the future and provide greater accessibility for researchers and Indigenous cultural practitioners.
