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.

Space LaunchPad
26EDIPUL06
The Pulsar Institute has successfully delivered two cohorts of the LaunchPad program, with nearly 200 post-secondary students that have completed the program as of May 2026. The program connects students with space industry leaders, offers career development and skills-based workshops, and includes an in-person networking and innovation event. Additional CSA funding will support future cohorts and help advance the Pulsar Space Portal from its beta phase to a sustainable, industry-supported platform.
A key focus of the initiative is diversity and inclusion, with a goal of ensuring that at least 75% of participants come from underrepresented groups. Travel support will help students from across Canada participate. The long-term objective is to create a self-sustaining program and online community that supports students, alumni, industry partners, and the broader Canadian space sector.
