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.

Building Capacity
SO20161
This 28-month project will strengthen the capacity of Capital Rainbow Refuge (CRR) to advance LGBTQ2 equality. This will be achieved by growing its organizational and managerial capacity to become a stronger legal entity with a democratic governance. CRR will develop a communication system to reach group leaders, newcomers, members/volunteers, and donors through strategic and financial planning, which includes diversifying funding sources, such as joint fundraising, fundraising models for their small groups, and direct mail to ensure long term sustainability. In addition to the creation of an outreach plan, it will solidify relationships with allies, widen their membership base, and help other agencies deliver better services. An environmental scan will allow CRR to better manage the volunteer base, helping in recruiting participants and refugees with lived intersectional experiences, which will in turn improve the trauma-informed workshops on pre and post arrival planning, with materials to circulate in both official languages.
They will develop materials in a Toolkit for overseas applications and inland hearing preparations that will raise the legal bar, sharing expertise in the legal realm and with coalition partners, resulting in fewer negative decisions, costly and stressful appeals and/or avoidable deportations. They will also develop technical systems with the goal of creating a virtual office to improve capacity, including software and licenses.
The supplemental funds will cover costs of the organization training its staff and volunteers on mental health and anti-racism/anti-oppression to better support clients.
In Phase II of the project, the organization will 1) design Qmunity Matching system, 2) build upon its strategic and financial planning, 3) conduct an environmental scan to better integrate and manage its volunteer base, and 4) improve trauma-informed workshops for CRR staff by developing materials to circulate in both official languages.
At the end of the project, the organization will have increased knowledge and capacity to advance equality with respect to sexual orientation, gender identity, expression and sex characteristics (SOGIESC) individuals; and established and strengthened partnerships and collaborations to support the LGBTQ2 movement.
