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.

Data unification and business insights

The GIST is a women-operated sports media brand, with a community of over 1 million fans who have been underserved by traditional sports media.
Our community spans many channels, including multiple newsletters, job board, contests, games, podcast, social media, e-commerce, membership, and live events. Currently, user data is siloed within the different channels, and our pipeline for storing and analyzing data is almost entirely centered around our newsletters.
The goal of this project is to create a unified profile for our users and data team, and rework the data pipeline to aggregate and report on user activity. This will give us a more detailed and holistic view of who our users are via their behaviors and preferences.

Integrated Content, Sales, and Inventory Management Systems
1003326
The GIST is a women-founded and operated sports media brand. Across our various channels (newsletter, podcast, website, and social media), we share both organic and partner sponsored content. This content is also highly segmented across different content verticals, sports, and geographic regions. The current processes for gathering, reviewing, and publishing different types of content across these segments involve significant manual, repetitive, and time-consuming work. No-code solutions have been set up, but these are tedious to maintain and do not scale effectively. The goal of this project is to create a more automated content and sales process using software solutions, as well as better tracking of the data shared between processes.
