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.

Supporting the North American Marine Protected Areas Network (NAMPAN) Secretariat: Enhancing connections between Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) in North America
GC-1633
The contribution will support the work of the North American Marine Protected Areas Network (NAMPAN) Secretariat. Since 2020, NAMPAN has been fostering a community of practice between Marine Protected Area (MPA) managers and practitioners from Canada, Mexico and the USA, where they consider common issues and challenges and share information and best practices. Discussions between MPA practitioners will continue to be initiated through interactive sessions providing facilitated discussions into specific technical and operational topics. Funds will support the NAMPAN Secretariat in finalizing a detailed interactive story map of North American MPAs, managing NAMPAN online platforms, planning for future interaction sessions and strategies for engagement and outreach.
