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.

Project VOICE: Black Healing Across Communities
13760178
The organization’s Project VOICE (Victim Outreach, Intervention, Counselling, and Education) will provide a comprehensive range of services that support victims and survivors of violence within African Nova Scotian (ANS) and Black communities in Nova Scotia to address the significant gaps in available programming, particularly services that are culturally specific, trauma-informed, and grounded in an Afrocentric framework. By centering the lived experiences, strengths, and healing traditions of ANS and Black communities, the program will offer holistic support that acknowledges the emotional, spiritual, relational, and mental dimensions of recovery. Services will include a Black Community Toll-Free Support Line and a dedicated Toll-Free Line Clinical Support Extension to directly connect with, or be referred to, clinicians and trained professionals who can provide immediate therapeutic support, crisis intervention, and culturally responsive guidance, in addition to programming support; Because We Matter Healing Sessions to strengthen relationships among ANS and Black employees by fostering understanding, resilience, and healing; Barbershop Talks to create culturally safe spaces to gather, engage in open dialogue, and access critical resources related to mental health, legal education, and personal development; and Clinical Grief Support Circles to offer culturally safe and trauma-informed spaces for individuals to process their grief, strengthen coping skills, and begin the journey toward restoration and resilience.
