McConnell Family Foundation funds projects in Canada that foster citizen engagement, build resilient communities and have the potential for national scale or impact. A Developmental Evaluation Primer Jamie A.A. Gamble Our vision at The J.W. McConnell Family Foundation is a Canada where all people have the opportunity to develop their potential and contribute to the betterment of their communities and country.

  • A Short History of Voluntary Sector-Government Relations in Canada
    A Short History of Voluntary Sector-Government Relations in Canada BY PETER R. ELSON* A Short History of Voluntary Sector-Government Relations in Canada The purpose of this article is to present an overview of the history of volun- tary sector-government relations in Canada. This is a rich history, which is often overlooked and chronically underappreciated. This historical overview will cov- er dominant themes within each of five periods in the evolution of the voluntary sector-government relations in Canada: 1) the emergence of the federal state and moral charity; 2) the political and social reformation in the late 1800s and early 1900s; 3) the rise of the welfare state and the voluntary sector following WWII; 4) the fall and rise of voluntary sector-government relations, which covers the period from the mid 1970s to the present day; and 5) an analysis of contemporary voluntary sector-government relations. The Emergence of the Federal State and Moral Charity The pre-Confederation period in Canada can be divided into three distinct re- gional trajectories: Atlantic Canada, Upper Canada, and Lower Canada. Survival in Canada’s harsh climate and sparsely populated landscape depended on indi- vidual determination, a communal spirit, and strategic political and economic alliances. These alliances were more often than not with aboriginal peoples who inhabited North America for thousand of years before European explorers arrived (Hall, Barr, Easwaramoorthy, Sokolowski, & Salamon, 2005; Thompson, 1962). It was with the arrival of European settlers in Atlantic Canada, New France, and Upper Canada that formal governance structures, processes and services, such as social services, education, and welfare, started to take shape.

  • Moving Beyond Laissez Faire Philanthropyi
    From Crisis to Opportunity: Moving Beyond Laissez Faire PhilanthropyI EVERT A. LINDQUIST Department ofPolitical Science, University of Toronto Canada's voluntary sector is under great stress. Protracted constitutional nego­ tiations and continuing economic difficulties have put considerable pressure on the federal government to contain spending on, or devolve responsibility for, a range of human service programs embracing the broad categories of health, education, welfare, and culture. However, from a fiscal standpoint, devolving program responsibilities to lower levels of government only shifts the painful choices to provincial and local leaders. An alternative strategy is to rely more heavily on private donors (individuals, corporations and founda­ tions) and providers to deliver services once administered by governments. Yet a steadily deteriorating economy and government cutbacks have caused requests for support to skyrocket and overwhelm donors, many of whom feel squeezed by the recession and the broader economic restructuring in train. For those who support, work in, and are served by the voluntary sector, these developments are ominous. For many social activists and human service providers there has been a bright spot in the continuing constitutional struggle: the movement to entrench a social charter or covenant will probably succeed.2 Indeed, even if the consti­ tutional negotiations were to fail, it seems likely that there would be consider­ able pressure to adopt social charters in the resulting jurisdictions; however, this advance may well be symbolic. Charters simply set out principles and the obligations of governments to their citizens; they do not ensure that human service providers will receive, despite increasing demands, more support from the government nor do they delineate what responsibilities citizens, corpora­ tions and foundations should assume in this regard.

  • A State of the Art Review of Income Security Reform in Canada
    IDRC tib. 4 0 i ao Working Series Paper #4 A State of the Art Review of Income Security Reform in Canada Jane Pulkingham Simon Fraser University and Gordon Ternowetsky University of Northern British Columbia This document is disseminated as part of a Working Paper Series of IDRC's Assessment of Social Policy Reforms (ASPR) Programme Initiative. ASPR draws on the knowledge and experience of a wide variety of experts. Documents made available through the Working Paper Series are intended to contribute to the debate around ASPR's areas of research. The views expressed in this paper are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect those of the International Development Research Centre or ASPR. IDRC/CRDI Ottawa, Canada April, 1998 INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT RESEARCH CENTRE Ottawa / Cairo / Johannesburg / Montevideo / Nairobi / New Delhi / Singapore Ak.Gf r 3 t 2 "= 1 PREFACE A State of the Art Review: Income Security Reform in Canada INTRODUCTION In both the North and South today, in the context of broader social policy reform trends, increasing attention is being devoted to the revision of social security systems. Globalization, demographic shifts, employment trends and growing poverty underlie a re-examination of the capacity of these systems to protect the basic welfare of societies. Moreover, these reforms are occurring in the context of neo-liberal adjustment and conservative fiscal strategies. Whether in developing or OECD countries, social security systems-- encompassing pension programs, social assistance plans, income support programs and social transfers-- are being considered in light of growing concerns with the limited capacities of states, pre-occupations with affordability and sustainability, a preference for the allocative efficiency of the market, and ideologies which delegate greater responsibility for social welfare to communities and individuals.

  • Suncor Energy Foundation – Finaical Statements 2015
    Suncor Energy Foundation Financial Statements December 31, 2015 April 5, 2016 Independent Auditor’s Report To the Board of Directors of Suncor Energy Foundation We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Suncor Energy Foundation, which comprise the statement of financial position as at December 31, 2015 and the statements of operations and changes in net assets and the statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes, which comprise a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. Management’s responsibility for the financial statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with Canadian accounting standards for not-for-profit organizations, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor’s responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control.

    Journal of Business Cases and Applications Volume 15 United Way of Greater Victoria: Connecting with Millennials Dr. Rebecca Grant University of Victoria ABSTRACT This is a live case, based on the experiences of fundraisers for the United Way of Greater Victoria (UWGV). It is set in Autumn, 2015 – prime season for fundraising. Runs for cancer research and treatment, lotteries for hospital charities, and many more, filled the landscape in Greater Victoria. It was also the season of United Way workplace campaigns, the major fundraising effort of UWGV) It Brittany Decker, Director Community Campaign, was considering once again how long the organization could sustain itself by relying on donations from the workplace. As the donor population aged, it seemed increasingly important to connect with Millennials, Canadians between the ages of 18 and 30. While the United Way’s mission – to improve lives and build community – was important, traditional fundraising didn’t seem to resonate with Millennials. Students are challenged to develop a strategy whereby could UWGV become a charity of choice for new, young donors?
