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.

Scaling Up and Sustaining Informed Opinions' Capacity to Achieve Gender Equality in the Media
NA18904
This 49-month project addresses two interdependent objectives: scaling up Informed Opinions’ impact and securing its sustainability. The funds requested will eliminate current over-reliance on its founder, develop critical infrastructure and increase the organization’s capacity for proactive engagement in a disrupted media environment. Board and professional development, strategic and communications planning, and other targeted supports will help to significantly diversify and expand revenues through enhanced program delivery, increased fundraising and partnership development capacity. The project will facilitate a tripling of the annual budget and corresponding resources into accelerated advocacy and impact to achieve equality for women as sources in Canadian news media.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic Informed Opinion has pivoted to deliver programming online and is bringing an online safety platform called the, Troll Patrol which addresses two of the three capacity building goals: to diversify our revenue sources through expanded fundraising capacity; and to translate this capacity into accelerated advocacy and enduring impact.
The additional funding will benefit the project by allowing the organization to: map out safety platform architecture for donor presentations; develop case for support and build out donor levels; and identify and qualify 15 donor prospects.
