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 Project is a national initiative delivered across eight components over six fiscal years as part of a broader effort implemented by the Inter-Council Network (ICN), a coalition of eight provincial and regional councils for international cooperation. As one component of this larger initiative, the Project strengthens public engagement on global issues and supports the contribution of people across Canada to international cooperation efforts.
The Project increases understanding of global challenges through coordinated outreach, capacity-building, and youth engagement. It reaches communities that are often underserved by centralized engagement models, including Indigenous communities, diaspora groups, youth, professional associations, and rural and remote populations. These groups, along with women, gender-diverse individuals, and emerging leaders, are the primary beneficiaries of the Project.
In Northern Canada, the Northern Council for Global Cooperation works with civil society stakeholders to foster leadership through dialogue, programming, and public engagement that contributes to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Project enhances the ability of people and organizations in the region to participate meaningfully in Canada’s international cooperation efforts.
The Project activities include: (1) strengthening public awareness and motivation to support international development assistance by delivering International Development Week (IDW) events, implementing media and storytelling initiatives, and producing public-facing campaigns; (2) deepening opportunities for Indigenous Elders, youth, and knowledge holders to engage in global peacebuilding and development dialogues by convening gatherings, co-creating culturally grounded learning resources, and developing multimedia storytelling tools; and (3) enhancing the knowledge and skills of international development actors by delivering equity- and sustainability-focused workshops, developing accessible learning tools, and contributing to national coordination and knowledge-sharing platforms.
