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.

The Women’s Economic Empowerment Through Advancing Women-Led Enterprises in Lebanon project aims to improve the economic security, stability, and prosperity of 1,200 women-led micro-, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) and entrepreneurs in productive sectors with high growth and export potentials in Lebanon. The project seeks to achieve this by improving the business-enabling environment by strengthening the capacities and procedures of public and private institutions to better serve and promote women-led businesses. It seeks to improve funding availability and related financial instruments through matching grants, an equity fund scheme and a gender-sensitive digital business matchmaking platform. It focuses on improving women-led business’ agencies’ access to financial products and engage with local and international markets by strengthening their financial, business, investment and export readiness skills.
