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.

Spotlight on Women Entrepreneurs with Disabilities in Canada
WP240280
Through this 30-month systemic change project, Eviance will help advance equality of women with disabilities. Specifically, the project will address a systemic gap related to information about women with disabilities within the entrepreneurship ecosystem that is a barrier to supporting women entrepreneurs with disabilities to achieve economic
security and prosperity.
This will be achieved by: convening a working group of women entrepreneurs with disabilities, and strategic community members to provide continuous feedback to project activities; scanning the entrepreneurship ecosystem for key actors and existing tools; conducting focus groups and interviews to identify and better understand the issues; developing a strategy to address the information needs and gaps; piloting a tool for information gathering and reporting; sharing the strategy within the entrepreneurship ecosystem; and securing commitments from key actors to implement the strategy and plan for sustainability. An external evaluation will be conducted to measure and assess the impact of the systemic change project.
