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.

Aging out without a safety net: Addressing the Economic Insecurity of Young Women in Foster Care
NA17028
This 48-month project will identify and address key policies that create systemic barriers for young women aging out of foster care in five provinces and territories. These barriers include gaps in child welfare permanency planning, education, employment, housing, health care and the justice system.
The additional funding will support and will fill missing gaps in original consultation by connecting with other groups representing the Canadian diversity (Black, Indigenous and gender diverse) who are aging out/or have already aged of the child welfare system in Ontario and Manitoba and will allow Adoption Council of Canada to undertake a national symposium.

This 48-month project will identify and address key policies that create systemic barriers for young women aging out of foster care in five provinces and territories. These barriers include gaps in child welfare permanency planning, education, employment, housing, health care and the justice system.
The ACC will use the supplemental funding to engage a statistician and economist for the analysis and preparation of a forecast for their data, as well as cost out their program and policy solutions from young women and non binary youth aging out of the child welfare system, which will increase the overall impact of the project. This will allow the ACC to more broadly disseminate accurate findings and strategies to a wide variety of stakeholders through their national symposium platform to be held in October 2021.
