"The Charitable sector depends on the generosity of Canadians to finance the provision of goods and services that might not otherwise be avilable to some of society's neediest citizens. The Fraser Institute's annual Generosity Index quantifies private generosity using donations data reported on personal income tax returns in Canada and the United States. As in previous years, the 2005 edition of this index shows that Canadians' propensity to give privately to charity is still far less than that of Americans."

"Those who wish to understand or expand cultural participation need to pay much greater attention to its diversity. Participation in arts and cultural events is not monolithic, though it is frequently discussed and acted upon as if it were. As one observer notes, "We often talk as if the 'arts' were a single thing.""

"Taking a broad and inclusive definition of culture, the survey asked a random sample of 1,231 Americans about their participation patterns, motivations, and experiences. As is typical of such surveys, we asked people about their participation during the previous 12 months. The major innovation of this study was that we also asked people a set of questions about their most recently attended event: what they attended, why, where, with whom, and what experiences they had. This provided types of motivations, venues, and experiences to particular types of arts attendance in order to determine what people wanted from a particular kind of arts event and whether they felt the event actually delivered. The survey therefore permits us, for instance, to go beyond knowing that a desire to socialize is a common motivation for arts attendance. We can now ask whether or not a desire to socialize is common for all attendance or has greater or lesser importance for those who attend specific kinds of arts events."
