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.

Data unification and business insights

Agreement Number:

1034617

Duration: from Oct 27, 2025 to Mar 4, 2026
Description:

The GIST is a women-operated sports media brand, with a community of over 1 million fans who have been underserved by traditional sports media.

Our community spans many channels, including multiple newsletters, job board, contests, games, podcast, social media, e-commerce, membership, and live events. Currently, user data is siloed within the different channels, and our pipeline for storing and analyzing data is almost entirely centered around our newsletters.

The goal of this project is to create a unified profile for our users and data team, and rework the data pipeline to aggregate and report on user activity. This will give us a more detailed and holistic view of who our users are via their behaviors and preferences.
