Abstract
Description
SSHRC Awarded PEG 2017: Recent government policy changes have created public funding challenges for many organizations, threatening the sustainability of social movements. We aim to synthesize and mobilize best practices and knowledge to help non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in Canada access funding opportunities by establishing a partnership with Powered by Data (PBD). This project will produce the first systematic examination of the breadth of state funding for social movements in Canada. First, we aim to help the non-profit sector by: (a) synthesizing and mobilizing best practices for digitizing and processing documents; (b) creating data dissemination strategies; (c) providing information on how to obtain data from governments; and (d) creating websites and open-access databases that are relevant to policy-makers and community organizations. Second, we aim to examine the social and policy implications of public funding for the non-profit sector and how government funding priorities and practices have changed over time. Our primary deliverables will include: a public database on funding for NGOs in Canada; graduate student training; conference papers and journal articles, including papers that share our unique research methods; and a new network linking academics and community organizations.
