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.

Engage: Global Citizens, Global Impact
7475935 P016608001
The Project is a province-wide initiative implemented over five years (2026–2031) by the Alberta Council for Global Cooperation (ACGC) as part of the broader Engage: Global Citizens, Global Impact program. Building on ACGC’s longstanding role in mobilizing Albertans, the Project strengthens inclusive public engagement in international cooperation and contributes to Canada’s international assistance efforts. It focuses on increasing awareness, building capacity, and expanding opportunities for action, while ensuring alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and advancing gender equality.
The Project enhances understanding of global issues through a combination of youth leadership initiatives, educator programming, community engagement, and civil society capacity-building. It places particular emphasis on reaching underrepresented groups, including youth, newcomers, educators, and small and medium-sized organizations, while expanding access across urban, rural, and newcomer communities. These groups are the primary beneficiaries of the Project’s activities, which are designed to foster inclusive participation and amplify diverse perspectives in international cooperation.
In Alberta, ACGC serves as a key convener and hub for global citizenship education and international cooperation, working in partnership with civil society, educational institutions, and community organizations. The Project activities include: (1) strengthening public awareness of global issues through storytelling, campaigns, and International Development Week activities; (2) building capacity through training, learning platforms, and youth leadership initiatives; and (3) expanding access to engagement through community-led dialogues, global exchanges, and support for collaborative initiatives that foster meaningful participation in Canada’s international cooperation efforts.

Inspire Action - Alberta Council for Global Cooperation (ACGC)
7405717 P002686001
The “Inspiring Action for Global Citizenship” Program aims to promote awareness of global issues among the Canadian public and relevant stakeholders across Canada. The Program is implemented by eight provincial and regional councils for international cooperation in their respective province or region.
Through its project, the Alberta Council for Global Cooperation (ACGC) seeks to increase the engagement of both the public and the stakeholders in Alberta. More specifically, it aims to involve more Albertans, in particular youth, in international development by increasing their support for and participation in Canada's efforts to eradicate poverty in the world. This translates into a variety of integrated communication activities, such as the celebration of International Development Week, the organization of public information sessions and the development of education curriculums incorporating international cooperation. The project also seeks to improve the capacity of Alberta civil society organizations working in international development to maximize their results, though diverse knowledge-sharing initiatives, including workshops, webinars and trainings.
