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.

Canada-Québec Agreement to Address Gender-Based Violence

Agreement Number:

SO230253

Duration: from Apr 1, 2023 to Mar 31, 2027
Description:

This 4 years federal–provincial agreement will address gender-based violence.
Gender-based violence is a priority for the Government of Québec, which has invested significant funds to end violence against women. However, although it supports the overall objectives of the National Action Plan to End Gender-Based Violence, the Government of Québec cannot adhere to it because it intends to retain its full responsibility in this area on its territory. Through an agreement that respects its autonomy, the Government of Québec expects to receive its fair share of federal funding to support the programs, initiatives, and services to end gender-based violence that it puts in place based on the needs of its territory.

A Collaborative Approach to Address Rural Sexual Assault Services Gaps

Agreement Number:

ON220086

Duration: from Apr 1, 2023 to Mar 31, 2025
Description:

Through this 24-month project, Huron Women’s Shelter, Second Stage Housing and Counselling Services will develop a collaborative approach to address rural sexual violence service gaps through systemic change in Huron and Perth. This will be achieved by strengthening the gender-based violence (GBV) ecosystem using a feminist and systems change approach through a network of service providers and partners, including survivor advisors, who will design a collaborative service delivery model based on the Sexual Assault Centres Model tailored for rural communities in the Huron and Perth region.

This project will partner with Optimism Place, and it will engage survivors of sexual violence and upwards of 10 community partners across the region. They will collaborate in the development of the project, making decisions and providing input in support of the initiative.

By the end of this project, Huron Women’s Shelter, Second Stage Housing and Counselling Services will have reduced barriers to sexual assault services in Perth and Huron through systemic change and ultimately increased access and participation for survivors while serving as a template for other rural communities across Ontario.
