Inventory of Effective Practices in Financing and Resourcing
of Voluntary Sector Organizations in Canada
The "Inventory of Effective Practices
in Financing and Resourcing of Voluntary Sector Organizations
in Canada" aims to improve resourcing in the sector by providing
a set of regional case studies that highlight the successful financing
practices of several Canadian voluntary organizations. The project
was commissioned by the Voluntary Sector-only Working Group on
Financing and funded by Human Resources Development Canada through
the Capacity Joint Table of the Voluntary
Sector Initiative.
These case studies were collected in
six regions, encompassing all provinces and territories. The inventory
presents examples of the creative ways voluntary organizations
are raising, accessing and utilizing funds and resources to strengthen
their long-term organizational capacity to meet the needs in their
communities. It is hoped that by sharing these successes, other
organizations may find ideas to adopt or adapt to their own circumstances.
The Inventory is organized into a database
that can be searched by a range of criteria, including type of
organization, funding source, category of effective practice,
budget and/or province. Please note that the VSI does not purport
to endorse the programs or services offered by any organization
listed in its inventory. These case studies do not necessarily
represent the views of the Government of Canada or the voluntary
sector.
