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.

Awo Taan Healing Lodge Society - Succession Planning: Strengthening our commitment to address GBV
SO220001
This 40-month project will increase the ability of the Niitoiyis Family Support Society (formerly the Awo Taan Healing Lodge) to prevent or address gender-based violence against Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA+ people. This will be achieved by improving the effectiveness of governance through a comprehensive evaluation of the Board of Directors using Indigenous gender-based analysis, and the development and implementation of a leadership succession plan that is culturally informed and community-led.
This project will engage The Calgary Police Services, Aboriginal Friendship Centre, The Advisory Circle for the GBV Indigenous Framework for Healing and Wellness, Institute for the Advancement of Aboriginal Women, Indigenous Women Shelters and Shelters serving Indigenous women (Eagle Nest, Sonshine, Discovery House, Sheriff King), and the Knowledge Keeper Circle for Gender-Based Violence to provide advice, guidance, and recommendations for the succession plan.
By the end of the project, Niitoiyis Family Support Society will have strengthened their capacity to prevent and address GBV against Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA+ people by creating a strong, ethical, and respected Indigenous Governance and Leadership system.

Better Paths: Capacity Building for Indigenous Seniors to Address GBV
SO220069
Through this 24 month project, the Edmonton Aboriginal Seniors Centre (EASC) will increase its ability to prevent and address gender-based violence (GBV) against Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA+ persons with a focus on 2SLGBTQQIA+ seniors within the Edmonton area. This will be achieved by building capacity in the organization’s governance to develop a 3-year strategic plan; recruitment and governance training for the Board of Directors guided by GBA+ principles, Indigenous values; revision of organizational bylaws, policies and procedures to ensure stronger alignment with the needs of Indigenous women and 2SLGBTQQIA+ community; strengthening and expanding collaborations and partnerships including creating a local Indigenous Advisory Council; implementing strategies to improve communication with community members and be more responsive to Indigenous seniors needs; and developing a trauma informed tool kit.
The project will engage ally organizations such as Native Counselling Services of Alberta, Edmonton 2 Spirit Society, Centre to End Sexual Exploitation (CEASE) and various funding agencies to respond to the needs of Indigenous 2SLGBTQQIA+ senior citizens, to ensure long-term organizational sustainability and to increase responsiveness to address and prevent gender-based violence.
By the end of the project, EASC will have strengthened their capacity and created tools to prevent and address gender-based violence against Indigenous women, girls and 2SLGBTQQIA+ peoples and most notably seniors.
