Notice of New Guidelines for Payments to Indigenous Payees 
Original Communication – Provost Digest: August 16, 2024 

The new Payments to Indigenous Payees Guidelines were crafted with the intention of reducing barriers to payment processes for non-employee Indigenous partners who work with the University of Toronto. They are now incorporated into the Guide to Financial Management. These guidelines are intended as a resource for common scenarios encountered by University of Toronto staff, faculty, librarians, and student groups seeking to make payments to Indigenous community members who are not employees of the University of Toronto.
