Grants and Contributions projects affected by COVID-19

Due to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak, Grants and Contributions projects are affected.

We recognize that grant and contribution recipients may face challenges in managing their funding agreements. We are committed to working with your organization to adjust agreements and activities as needed.

Please connect with your Service Canada funding representative if you have specific questions about your project or agreement.

For more information, please consult what you should know if your project is affected by the COVID-19.

For further information, consult the funding page of specific programs.

Funding programs from Employment and Social Development Canada are government grants and contributions that help support jobs, training, and social development.

Government grants and contributions

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.
