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.

SI2 Investment Readiness Platform
7438738 P009495001
This project will improve sustainable livelihoods and economic well-being, particularly for women, their families and their communities, in targeted post-conflict and poverty-stricken areas of rural Colombia. This project seeks to establish an Investment Readiness Platform (“Colombia SI2”) within Colombia that will provide capital and capacity support for enterprises, cooperatives, organizations and funds seeking to start or scale their impact, with a particular focus on rural regions in Colombia and enterprises serving women. The proposed initiative will consolidate Colombia’s social impact investing ecosystem and act as a catalyzer for Colombia’s impact investing sector to advance toward maturity. Through SI2 Impact investing will play a critical role in responding to intractable challenges, from social, environmental and economic well-being for all citizens to the impacts of COVID-19.
Overall, more than 20 impact investments funds as well as 100 impact enterprises, including inclusive or social businesses, cooperatives, associations, non-profit organizations, intermediaries and investors would be supported along with 10 rural communities, translating into at least benefit 3,150 direct beneficiaries, owners, members and staff of impact enterprises in rural areas, and 10,000 indirect beneficiaries and creating more than 500 new jobs
