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.

The Schlifer Clinic #SHEcovery Project: Advancing a more inclusive feminist recovery through promising practices for systemic change
GV21092
This 31-month project will research, develop, and disseminate an evidence-based gender equity playbook and online platform to address the root causes of gender-based violence (GBV) and support survivors in the new post-COVID reality who are high-need, high-risk, or from harder-to-reach communities. The Barbra Schlifer Commemorative Clinic will achieve this by: conducting research with GBV-service organizations providing high-need case management supports in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), as well as trauma-informed research with survivors accessing high-need case management services; building a coalition of service organizations and other stakeholders supporting survivors from high-need, high-risk, and harder-to-reach communities; working with the coalition to develop a gender equity playbook and online platform to support survivors in the new post-COVID reality; and disseminating this knowledge through training workshops for service providing organizations.
At the end of the project, the Schlifer Clinic will have developed promising practices that increased networks and collaboration to accelerate systemic change, supported positive distribution of authority, voices, and decision-making power, advanced inclusive policies and practices, and encouraged a more equitable and effective sharing of resources, to support GBV survivors.
This project will foster partnerships with GBV-service organizations, provincial networks, grassroots/community-based groups, and survivors with lived experience in the design, implementation, and evaluation of this promising practice. The evidence-based gender equity playbook and online platform will address the systemic barriers to gender equality experienced by survivors who are high-need, high-risk, or from harder-to-reach communities, and aid the GBV-service organizations that support them.
