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.

Finding Solutions: Better Justice Outcomes for Aboriginal Women
AN16371
This 36-month project seeks to influence culturally-relevant changes to provincial child protection policies and programs to facilitate Indigenous women’s access to services and reduce the likelihood that they stay in unsafe households to avoid being separated from their children. The organization will mobilize and engage relevant stakeholders to increase their knowledge of the impact of over-representation of Indigenous children and youth in the child protection justice system. Together they will identify existing measures, policies, and procedures contributing to this over-representation. Based on the findings, the organization will develop alternative measures that are culturally-appropriate and can be integrated within the mainstream child welfare system.
The supplemental funding will be used for engaging with a consultant to perform policy analysis/research to support the project work. This will encompass policy recommendations to current legislation around Indigenous children in care.
