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.

This project aims to foster electoral readiness, political participation, and democratic renewal in Palestine by supporting democratic institutions and civil society to advance local and national electoral processes, including but not limited to the scheduled April 2026 local elections and the November 2026 Palestinian National Council (PNC) elections. Project activities include: 1) conduct independent monitoring and technical assessments of upcoming electoral processes, evaluating legal, administrative, and political dimensions with particular attention to the inclusion of women and other vulnerable groups; and (2) establish an International Observer Coordination Unit (OCU) to support impartial observation efforts and facilitate coordination with diplomatic missions. This project seeks to directly benefit members of election management bodies, including officials of the Central Elections Commission and Ministry of Local Government, international election observers and civil society organizations. This project also aims to indirectly benefit approximately 2.8 million eligible voters in the West Bank and 1.2 million potential voters in Gaza, 49% of whom are women.
