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.

Advancing Gender Equality by Building WEC’s Capacity
NA18726
This 48-month project will address organizational and sector capacity needs to allow the Women’s Economic Council and its partners to continue promoting social and systemic change towards gender equality. Key activities will include consultations and assessments to help the Women’s Economic Council to collaboratively identify its strategic capacity-building priorities and to implement both tried tools and newly created capacity-building resources. The organization will partner with sector stakeholders that have previously taken steps to build their own capacity to avoid duplication, and will support women and women’s organizations working in community economic development in Canada to address their own capacity needs through training, workshops, and knowledge-sharing on effective capacity-building tools. A Strategic Plan and Sustainability Plan will be created and adapted based on evaluation results.
The additional funding would be used to increase the pace at which WEC builds a healthy financial base and processes.

National Expansion of the Canadian Women’s Chamber of Commerce
NA18981
This 48-month project will address organizational capacity needs to allow the Canadian Women’s Chamber of Commerce to continue promoting social and systemic change towards gender equality. Activities will focus particularly on building capacity and strategic planning for national expansion and enhanced national advocacy, including through research and partnership building with businesswomen, service providers, and other stakeholders invested in advancing women’s economic prosperity through entrepreneurship. Operational policies and procedures, along with marketing, communications and training resources will be created and tested through the pilot expansion of chapters, while sustainable funding will be built through strategic partnerships and the implementation of other fundraising approaches.
The supplemental funding will be used to mitigate the impact that COVID-19 restrictions have had on the project by allowing the organization to expand the team and capitalize on organizational strengths so that they are in a strong position to gain members and revenue as women’s businesses recover, implement Advocacy Strategy and Advocacy-related Communications, offer signature programs to encourage membership and promote engagement, and launch pilot chapters with Regional Managers.
