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.

September 2022 – Heavy monsoon rainfall has affected Pakistan since mid-June. The rainfall is causing widespread flooding that has affected 33 million people. Reports show that it has resulted in road closures, power outages and disruptions to communications in multiple regions.
To date, over 1,300 people have died in the floods and nearly 13,000 injured. Government authorities and humanitarian agencies have identified priority humanitarian needs. The immediate needs are: food, emergency shelter, water, sanitation and hygiene services and healthcare. An estimated 6.4 million people need humanitarian aid because of the floods.
With GAC’s support, Islamic Relief Canada is working to save lives and help reduce the suffering of flood-affected people. Project activities include: (1) distributing essential non-food items including kitchen sets and newborn baby kits; (2) distributing hygiene kits and water purification tablets; and (3) providing multi-purpose cash assistance to flood-affected families.
