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.

SME Growth, Employment Creation and Market Linkages Through Trade Finance
5007063303 P001019001
The project aims to help stimulate sustainable economic growth and reduce poverty by providing trade finance and technical assistance to micro - small- and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) in developing countries. Trade finance is short-term financing with the purpose of enabling MSMEs to trade, both domestically and across borders.
This project supports the launch of a trade finance investment fund that aims to leverage at least $45 million in private sector investment, which is designed to be lent to MSMEs, enabling them to overcome financial barriers to growth.
Project activities include: (1) providing technical assistance to select trade finance funds and firms, as well as to recipient MSMEs in order to improve supply chain development, trade finance products, and environmental, social and governance standards, benefitting both women and men; (2) developing a system to measure the impact, by gender, on SMEs, small-scale suppliers and households to ensure that positive impacts, as a result of investments in the SME sector, are being felt at the individual level.
This project is implemented in collaboration between the Mennonite Economic Development Associates, Sarona Asset Management and the University of Waterloo's School for Environment, Enterprise and Development.
