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.

Multi-country Crises - emergency food assistance - WFP 2026
7475578 P017302001
February 2026 - Food insecurity remains at alarming level in many countries, driven by conflicts, climate change, and economic shocks. The World Food Programme (WFP) is the United Nations’ frontline agency in the fight against hunger. It responds to emergencies and saves lives by quickly getting food assistance to crisis-affected populations.

Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria - Institutional support 2026 to 2028
7475601 P015438001
This grant represents Canada’s long-term institutional support to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria uses these funds and other donors’ funding, to achieve its mandate. Created in 2002, the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria is a unique, public-private partnership and leading international financing institution dedicated to mobilizing additional resources to prevent and treat AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria. It is a partnership between governments, civil society, the private sector, and affected communities that represents an innovative approach to international health financing. This grant supports the Global Fund’s 2023-2028 Strategic Plan, the primary objective of which is to end AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria, with a focus on making catalytic investments and leveraging innovations for faster progress in reducing new infections in 126 low and middle-income countries. The Global Fund’s model centers on the concepts of country ownership and performance-based funding, which means that organizations and institutions in developing countries implement their programs based on their priorities and must be able to show achieved results. This grant contributes towards meeting the Sustainable development goal target of eliminating HIV, tuberculosis and malaria as epidemics by 2030 by supporting countries to scale up treatment and prevention services. This grant also contributes to improving the health and rights of women, adolescents and children by breaking down barriers to access to life-saving prevention and treatment services. It also focuses on international assistance efforts on helping the poorest and most vulnerable. To date, the Global fund has saved over 70 million lives.

Bioprinting to Biopreservation: Suborbital Validation of INSITE and Cryo Cell Therapy Development
25FATOA88
This project will advance a made-in-Canada handheld bioprinting system (INSITE), engineered to treat severe skin injuries in space and in remote environments where conventional surgical care is unavailable. The device enables the operator to print thin, bioactive layers directly onto wounds, accelerating healing while reducing scarring, pain, and donor-site morbidity. The project includes the validation of INSITE’s performance in microgravity aboard Virgin Galactic’s Delta spacecraft flight and will involve developing direct-use cryopreserved bioinks that eliminate the need for on-orbit culture. Deliverables include a flight-tested handheld bioprinter, validated cryopreserved bioinks, and standard operating procedures for suborbital use.
