Funding Matters: The Impact of Canada’s New Funding Regime on Nonprofit and Voluntary Organizations

The primary objective of this study is to document the changing funding landscape in Canada and to assess the impact of these changes on the financial capacity and long-term sustainability of nonprofit and voluntary organizations. Through our study, we hope to bring to light the challenges and opportunities that nonprofit and voluntary organizations in a variety of sectors face in trying to fulfill their missions, because a strong foundation of knowledge is key to developing concrete recommendations and options for funding policies and practices that will enhance and sustain the vital activities of nonprofit and voluntary organizations in communities across the country. This is the final report of the Funding Matters project. A Summary Report is also available in English and French at www.ccsd.ca.
