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.

Rainbow Coalition for Refuge: Community of Practice with LGBTQ2 Refugees
SO190168
This 31-month project will address organizational capacity needs of the RC4R and promote collaborative knowledge generation and dissemination amongst the emerging national network of LGBTQ2 refugee civil society organizations in order to offer LGBTQ2 newcomers safety, care, and resources for resilience, as well as opportunities for livelihood and civic participation.
In Phase 1 of the project, organizational capacity building will be enhanced through the development of RC4R’s governance structure; expansion and formalization of its membership using a community of practice model; and, conducting needs assessments of regional hubs and the National network. Knowledge generation will be enhanced through a literature review, environmental scan, and focus groups, as well as the sharing of information via regional hubs and a national consultation in order to inform priority setting for community building and advocacy efforts.
Phase 2 of the project will focus on building capacity for leadership and participation by LGBTQ+ refugee newcomers in the advocacy, program development and knowledge mobilization work of RC4R. Each of the regional hubs will establish an advocacy advisory group comprised of people with lived expertise. Recognizing the need to support trans and gender diverse participation, RC4R will establish a trans gender diverse caucus within the community of practice, with regional and national convenings. Fostering community-based supports for LGBTQ+ refugee newcomers in recovery from persecution, RC4R will pilot a mental health capacity building and resource connecting project in the Greater Toronto Area and British Columbia’s Lower Mainland. Facilitating knowledge exchange and mobilization by Francophone CSOs distributed across Canada to enhance their work with Francophone LGBTQ+ refugee newcomers, RC4R will seed a Francophone caucus with representatives from each region.

Engage. Empower. Connect: Cyber-empowerment for girls and young women (EC2)
NA190171
This 48-month project will enable Actua to develop innovative on- and offline programming that empowers girls and young women to critically assess online interactions and threats in ways that reduce cyber-violence and promote positive digital and community citizenship. Approaches and content will be tested to ensure that they are appropriate to a range of ages and youth populations, particularly those that are economically and socially marginalized. The project will then develop a plan to scale-up learnings for inclusion in a variety of existing Actua programs and will share lessons with influential stakeholders through thought leadership activities.
The supplementary funds will be used to extend the on- and offline programming to various age groups; develop specialized content for girls of intersecting identities and for youth in marginalized or at-risk communities and include additional pilot sites.
