What are grants and contributions?
Through grant and contribution programs (Gs and Cs), individuals and organizations receive Government funding to deliver services and programs to Canadians, such as employment, skills or social development programs.
Grants are unconditional transfer payments that the Government provides to individuals or organizations for activities that meet eligibility criteria set by the funding program.
Contributions are similar to grants, except that, in order to receive funding and be reimbursed for specific costs, recipients need to meet certain performance conditions. The government can also audit the recipients’ use of funding.
