The Philanthropist is an online journal addressing issues facing the sector. The current issue includes: 

An editorial by Don Bourgeois talking about the engagement strategy and the role The Philanthropist will play in the initiative. Don also states “the purpose of these articles is not to define the future but rather to stimulate thought and discussion of the matters at stake.”

Martin Garber-Conrad sets the stage for this relationship with his article, “A crisis is a terrible thing to waste,” which talks about the importance of the sector coming together on issues and the engagement strategy. 

Lynn Eakin’s article “The Invisible Public Benefit Economy – Implications for the Non Profit Sector” describes the nonprofit sector as part of a public benefit economy that operates in Canadian communities on principles that are fundamentally different from those of the commerce economy.

Bob Wyatt reminds us of the changing environment for charities in his article “Overview from Canada: Modernizing Charity Law”

Future issues will focus on many of the themes that we heard on the ground during our Community Conversations. Stay tuned!
