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.

CoHost is a podcast hosting and prefix tool for podcasters who want to better understand who their audiences are. For this project, our goal is to open up CoHost’s prefix offering to the larger market of professional podcasters so they can use our data to help grow and monetize their shows. The key challenges we hope to address are: ensuring the data we provide to our users is actionable for podcasters to grow their audience base or send to sponsors, and making our data easily digestible for anyone who is reading it so the value of the podcast audience is clearly articulated. We also plan to build supplementary features to our demographic data to help professional podcasters better gauge listener engagement and connect with advertisers.
