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.

Certification of Funders Serving Women Entrepreneurs
NA21316
This 29-month project will support a feminist response and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19, through systemic change. Forum for Women Entrepreneurs in British Columbia will achieve this by working with funders, such as traditional financial institutions and equity investors, to remove or reduce women entrepreneurs’ barriers to accessing capital in order to grow their business. Funders will be invited to join a certification program that would involve educating staff, advancing new inclusive policies and practices, revisiting external and internal processes and updating their corporate culture. A particular focus will be put on addressing harmful perceptions and prejudices that funders may have towards women entrepreneurs and on recognizing and addressing the unique systemic barriers faced by Black, Indigenous and Women of Colour (BIWOC). A working group made up of representatives of women entrepreneurs and financial institutions, along with the voices of BIWOC and LGBTQ2S+ entrepreneurs and research on adapted funding practices, will inform the development of the processes, inclusive policies and practices and certification program.
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, supporting positive distribution of authority, voices, and decision-making power, and addressing persistent harmful gender norms and attitudes of the system, all to support women’s equality.
