Open Data
The Ontario Trillium Foundation provides a public inventory of data sets regarding our operations and impact as part of our commitment to improve transparency, accountability, and openness. In accordance with Section 5 of the Government of Ontario's Open Data Directive, OTF publishes a list of all data sets held by the Foundation. View the OTF Data Inventory. You can also review our Open Data Policy.
Open data sets and open information are published by OTF under the Open Government License – Ontario. Information published under this license can be copied, modified, published, translated, adapted, distributed or otherwise used in any lawful way, subject to a few conditions.
For any questions or comments about our published data please contact opendata@otf.ca.
Data on grants
The Ontario Trillium Foundation posts past grant data in a simple and easy-to-use format.
The published data includes all approved OTF grants:
Data on Catchment areas
OTF has divided Ontario into 16 catchment areas, enabling us to make granting decisions at a local level. You can view the catchment map to find out which catchment applies to you.
These two files below match OTF Catchment geography to Statistics Canada Census Divisions municipalities. Use of these files allows for OTF Open Data to be linked to data sets using Statistics Canada geographic definitions, increasing the usability of OTF Open Data.
Travel Meals and Hospitality Expenses
In compliance with the Management Board of Cabinet's expense disclosure requirements, OTF publicly posts travel, meal and hospitality expense information. Our staff can claim — and be reimbursed for — necessary travel, meal and hospitality expenses they pay for, during the course of their work for the Foundation. Expense claims are governed by rules which outline what can be repaid with public funds, and what maximum amounts can be claimed.
More information about the Travel, Meal and Hospitality Directive.
Expenses will be disclosed in the period that they are claimed and are net of refundable sales tax.
