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.

Today there is no standardized report card for private market businesses, no common way to describe the maturity or potential chance of success the business has. Amongst its initial goals, FastApps is creating an automated holistic business analysis and benchmarking platform to facilitate calculation of a probability of success of early stage companies. This project focuses on the creation of several core machine learning algorithms that will be trained on a large proprietary corpus of private company information in order to establish a given companies chance of being successful in a number of outcomes. This will provide FastApps with a tool that is being demanded by firms that can help early stage companies grow most.

Today there is no standardized report card for private market businesses, no common way to describe the maturity or potential chance of success the business has. Amongst its initial goals, FastApps is creating an automated holistic business analysis and benchmarking platform to facilitate calculation of a probability of success of early stage companies. A key part of this is to aggregate and utilize the wealth of unstructured information that is available publicly on individual company websites as well as the news media. This will provide FastApps with valuable training data for a success prediction tool that is being demanded by firms that can help early stage companies grow most.
