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.

Foresight (GCCP) ICAP – International Co-Innovation Action Plan
1014143
Korotu Technology is a Canada-based software company that provides advanced remote sensing of forests to support conservation finance. In 2023 we won the WWF Nature x Carbon Tech Challenge for our forest carbon measurement software.
We are looking for co-innovation partners who work in the forestry value chain in the UK from source to use (e.g. in satellite sensing, or in creation carbon credits) that are interested in biodiversity markets and ecosystem valuation, and in how EU Deforestation Free Regulation (EUDR) will change the way forests are managed and tracked globally.
