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.

Realigning our Circle: Paving the way to Resilience
NL21515
This 30-month project will support a feminist response and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19, through systemic change. The Newfoundland Aboriginal Women’s Network will achieve this by implementing cultural procedures in the local court system, by implementing an Indigenous Court Navigator position, by training individuals in Gladue report writing, by strengthening relations between correctional facilities and community organizations, and by training Indigenous men and women to become Peer facilitators.
At the end of the project, the organization will have contributed to addressing systemic barriers by advancing inclusive policies and practices, encouraging more equitable and effective sharing of resources, increasing networks and collaboration to accelerate systemic change, supporting positive distribution of authority, voices, and decision-making power, and addressing persistent harmful gender norms and attitudes to support women’s equality.
The Newfoundland Aboriginal Women’s network will partner with the Empower Indigenous Women for Stronger Communities to continue to build and foster a community of Indigenous peer facilitators and leaders.
