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.

Techsploration Goes for Growth: Increasing Capacity for Sustainable Program Expansion
WP240007
Through this 30-month project, Techsploration will build its capacity to advance gender equality. It will address its ability to deliver and support long-term sustainable programming in Nova Scotia and expansion areas related to women employed in science, engineering, trades, and technology (SETT), leading to greater organizational capacity. The project will include an environmental scan, the development of a 5-year strategic plan and a comprehensive internal governance audit to ensure sound operations and enable long-term sustainability and growth.
With the supplemental funds and extension provided in early 2026, Techsploration will advance governance modernization through filing bylaw changes and approving and implementing core policy manuals as part of the organization’s new strategic plan developed during the first phase of the project. They will also modernize digital organizational systems by building automated databases and implementing digital filing, security, project, and grant management tools.
