Federal grants and contributions, agreements starting Jan 2006 to Oct 2026, each counted once at its latest amended value. Source: Treasury Board proactive disclosure, published October 11, 2026.
Most agreements under this program go to individuals (scholarships, fellowships, athletes and the like), so this site names none of its recipients. Every agreement still counts in the figures here.
