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.

Leveraging Gender-based Analysis Plus to Advance Women’s Participation and Prosperity
BC21910
This 29-month project will support a feminist response and recovery to adress the current impacts of COVID-19, through systemic change. The Young Women’s Christian Association will achieve this by conducting an environmental scan of municipalities across Metro Vancouver for GBA Plus policy, developing targeted government and public outreach and engagement strategies for the use of GBA Plus, and convening two advisory councils to help inform the widespread use of GBA Plus and equity strategies in the region.
At the end of the project, the organization will have contributed to addressing systemic barriers by advancing inclusive policies and practices, encouraging more equitable and effective sharing of resources, increasing networks and collaboration to accelerate systemic change, and supporting positive distribution of authority, voices, and decision-making power.
This project will result in 21 municipalities informed of the benefit of GBA Plus integration on policy, program and spending, development of two online toolkits to advance GBA Plus across Metro Vancouver communities and hosting one educational event to share the results of the project and progress amongst municipal governments.
