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.

The Sustainable Land Fund 2 (SLF 2) is a targeted EUR 350 million impact investment fund supporting projects in sustainable agriculture and forestry globally. Building on the success of Mirova’s Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN) Fund, this successor Fund seeks to continue increase climate adaptation and mitigation, biodiversity protection, community inclusion and gender equality. The Fund aims to improve the environment and well-being of vulnerable populations, including smallholder farmers and women in emerging markets. Project activities include mobilizing private sector capital to finance impactful companies adopting sustainable land management practices. The Fund intends to finance over 30 projects benefiting 100,000 farmers and workers, reaching a minimum of 30% women. Also, the Fund aims to demonstrate its capacity to mobilize capital at scale to drive longer-term sustainable financing in the sector.
