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.

Supporting Elections for Ethiopia’s Democracy Strengthening (SEEDS)
7413201 P007739001
The project’s main goal is to provide technical and logistical support to the National Election Board of Ethiopia (NEBE) to support in its mandate of ensuring the conduct of free, fair and credible elections. The main objectives of the project are two-fold: a) assist the electoral management body in becoming a more capable, transparent and ultimately, trusted institution; and b) provide the assistance required for undertaking inclusive, transparent and credible elections. Project activities include: (1) strengthening the NEBE as a cohesive institution; (2) enhancing public trust and confidence in the NEBE; (3) building staff capacities related to electoral processes; (4) building NEBE capacities for transparent and timely communication with the electorate; and (5) building NEBE capacities for detecting and resolving election-related disputes. The project’s strategic approach also aims at supporting the NEBE in ensuring inclusive participation of all groups including women, youth, and ethnic groups from all regions of Ethiopia.

Engage Grants for colleges
11020192020Q24505
Engage Grants (EGP) are designed to give innovative companies that operate from a Canadian base access to the unique knowledge, expertise and capabilities available at Canadian universities and colleges. These grants are intended to foster the development of new research partnerships by supporting short-term research and development projects aimed at addressing a company-specific problem; that is, a problem related to the company’s core competencies or activities. The simplified application and decision processes enable university and college researchers to quickly undertake new research collaborations that extend academic expertise to these problems. The mutually beneficial projects are expected to result in economic benefits to the company and to Canada and build impactful longer term collaborations between the applicant and the company.
