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.

Passing It On Boys: Spreading the Impact
GV240263
Through this 24-month project, The Circle Salt Spring Education Society will scale the Pass It On Boys program to strengthen the Gender-Based Violence (GBV) prevention sector. It will scale to a new community addressing the need for initiatives that support boys through safe spaces and social-emotional learning (SEL). To do so, it will implement a comprehensive, evidence-based curriculum, train and support local facilitators, and establish a sustainable program infrastructure with local leadership, partnerships, evaluation systems, and risk management. The Circle Salt Spring Education Society will document the scaling process and share insights to enable other organizations to implement or expand upon this promising practice in their communities.
Supplemental funding in February 2026 will be used to hire a graphic recorder for focus groups to enhance participant engagement and evaluation findings.
