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.

October 2018 – On September 28, 2018, a magnitude 7.5 earthquake struck Sulawesi, Indonesia. Following the earthquake, a tsunami hit the regions of Palu, Donggala and Sigi. The disasters caused widespread flooding and devastation in central Sulawesi, damaging basic services such as water and health services, and destroying homes and urban infrastructure. An estimated 2.4 million people have been affected and close to 200,000 are in immediate need of humanitarian assistance.
With GAC’s support, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) is helping provide shelter, health services, livelihood support and other essential services to disaster-affected people in Indonesia. Project activities include: (1) provision of safe drinking water and distribution of hygiene items and dignity kits; (2) provision of cash assistance and in-kind support to help meet basic needs and/or re-establish income-generating activities; (3) provision of emergency shelter and materials to repair damaged houses; (4) establishing and operating women and children safe spaces; and (5) provision of emergency first aid and basic health care, including psychosocial support to affected communities.
