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.

Renewed women’s voice and leadership - Peru
7457922 P012883001
This project is part of Canada’s Renewed women’s voice and leadership (WVL) program. It supports local and regional women’s rights organizations (WROs), lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex plus (LBTQI+) groups and feminist networks working to promote the rights of women and girls and advance gender equality in developing countries. It provides multi-year core funding and rapid responsive funding. It seeks to strengthen institutional capacity and bolster women’s rights alliances, as WROs and their networks are critical change agents. The Program continues to respond to the globally recognized and significant gap in funding and support for WROs and movements worldwide. It recognizes that those groups working at intersecting forms of discrimination and in crisis- and conflict-affected countries are funded even less. The renewed WVL program provides enhanced support for WROs, LBTQI+ organizations, and women human rights defenders working in crisis- and conflict-affected settings and a more intentional approach to reaching structurally excluded groups. This includes, but is not limited to, LBTQI+ communities, women and girls with disabilities, Indigenous women and girls and young feminists. This project aims to support 5 local implementing partners and their 210 staff to advance their objectives and priorities, and empower them and their organizations to advance women’s, girls, LBTQI+ individual and collective rights in Peru. The project also aims to benefit 10,000 women and female youth, Indigenous women, LBTQI+ people, 600 community leaders, and local and regional authorities directly. Cuso International is implementing the project.
