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.

Increased Economic and Social Empowerment of Women and Youth in Rural Colombia
7417122 P006834001
This project aims to extend credit to rural women and youth in the departments of Antioquia, Cauca, Cundinamarca and Eje Cafetero of Colombia. Rural women and youth’s ability to carry out successful projects is significantly affected by their limited access to credit. This project works to provide financial institutions with evidence-based information to view these underserved populations as a long-term profitable market. Through technical assistance, including another $5 million leveraged from the private sector, the project aims to increase impact and reduce risks on both the supply and demand of Colombia’s credit system.
Project activities include: (1) providing capacity building for financial institutions to expand their loan offer to women and youth specifically, leading to 32,000 new loans (14,500 for women over 28 years, 17,500 for young women and men); (2) providing capacity building for education institutions to tailor and deliver financial education programs for 10,000 rural women and young women and men; and (3) establishing a $2,000,000 guarantee fund pilot for use of up to three financial institutions, to further leverage the number of loans provided to women and youth.
