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.

Multi-Domain Threat Detection: Expanding the CDFC Platform with OSINT and Cross-Domain Intelligence Correlation

Agreement Number:

1043390

Duration: from Apr 1, 2026 to Mar 31, 2027
Description:

The Phase 2 of Beaufort's Cyber Defence Fusion Centre (CDFC) platform builds directly on a TRL 5 prototype by adding OSINT to address hybrid threats. AI-driven NLP models will detect coordinated public messaging, cross-correlate signals across cyber, dark web, and public domains, and generate daily quantitative risk indicators — enabling Canadian critical infrastructure operators to identify complex threats earlier and respond with greater confidence. By completion, the Momentum Insights platform — Canada's only sovereign multi-domain threat fusion product — advances from TRL 5 to TRL 7 (pilot-ready).

Cybersecurity National Defence Fusion Platform

Agreement Number:

1039834

Duration: from Nov 1, 2025 to Mar 31, 2026
Description:

This project will develop a cyber defence intelligence platform that analyzes publicly available and dark-web data sources to identify emerging cyber and hybrid threats to critical infrastructure. Using advanced data collection and analytical models, the system will generate high-level risk indicators and situational awareness to support early detection and informed decision-making. Initial development will focus on Canadian critical infrastructure use cases and deliver a prototype dashboard that visualizes global and national threat trends. The project aims to strengthen cyber resilience, support public-sector preparedness, and lay the groundwork for scalable, sovereignty-respecting cyber defence capabilities.
