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.

Unlocking the Growing South Asian Female workforce with national study, action plan, and pilot programs
NA21562
This 28-month project will support a feminist response and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19, through systemic change. The project aims to identify and measure barriers negatively impacting the economic security and prosperity of South Asian women. The results will be disseminated via a multi-city (virtual and in-person) roadshow with expert panelists to encourage South Asian women in leadership and decision-making positions. The goal of the roadshow will focus on addressing the top barriers in securing meaningful employment commensurate with the education and professional experience of these women.
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.
Pink Attitude will achieve this by: 1) identifying and measuring the barriers faced by South Asian women using a mass survey and interviews; 2) disseminating a report focused on addressing the barriers and engaging the South Asian community through an action plan; 3) launching 1-3 pilot projects in the top identified sectors with partners to address systemic barriers experienced by participants; and 4) conducting an evaluation to measure changes with respondents in the pilot projects with a focus on improving the high unemployment rates among South Asian women and to ensure the dissemination of results.
The organization will work with a wide network of partners, which include private and corporate, not-for-profit and education sectors, to impact South Asian females from graduation through to retirement.
