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.

Commercial Women’s Sport Initiative
NA220088
The Commercial Women’s Sport Initiative aims to improve economic security and prosperity for women through women’s professional sport by: shifting mindsets on the economic value of women’s professional sport; increasing motivation to invest in this space; and increasing capacity to embed intersectional gender equity in the development of women’s professional sport.
To accomplish these objectives, Canadian Women & Sport is working with Canadian Tire Corporation, Boston Consulting Group, Research and Consulting Firm, our Advisory Group, and a network of collaborators to deliver a two-year advocacy initiative. The project design reflects the following key activities:
A. Development of a national network of champions who are directly impacted by the issue, key influencers, and decision-makers in the target audiences.
B. Phase 2 Primary Research. Work with a leading national Research and Consulting firm to collect primary unique Canadian based research data that will articulate the unique business and social value proposition for women’s professional sport and related best practices in gender equity. This research will be based on the data gap analysis found in Phase 2. It will have GBA+ lens implemented throughout the process. Outputs of the Phase 2 Primary research will include a whitepaper (or equivalent) and Toolkit with best practices on building equitable and economically successful professional sport for women.
C. Delivery of a communications campaign to engage the national network in the research and the associated calls to action via digital communications collateral.
D. Outreach to strategically significant entities and decision-makers to generate targeted engagement and to support the application of the ideas and best practices in their institutional context. Quarterly release of new insights, with a focus on knowledge translation that generates engagement.
E. Ongoing measurement and evaluation with quarterly analysis to identify learnings to integrate. (Ongoing for the duration of the project.)
