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.

Since 1970, the OIF has conducted its work in partnership with all Francophonie institutions, civil society, Francophone institutional networks, the private sector, and international and regional organisations across all five continents. It pursues its objectives through advocacy, the development and sharing of tools, the dissemination of best practices, support for public policies, capacity building, and the financing of development projects. The organisation integrates the cross-cutting priorities of gender equality and youth into the achievement of its strategic objectives. The OIF aligns its efforts with the objectives of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and implements its activities in accordance with the principles of aid effectiveness and international standards for results-based management.
