Diversifying revenue sources in Canada: Are women's voluntary organizations different?
Abstract
Government policies in Canada have taken a hard right turn, and tax
cuts now have priority over investing in social programming. Both
federal and provincial governments have been withdrawing from direct
service provision, with the expectation that the voluntary sector will
fill the gap. At the same time, traditional government support for the
voluntary sector has declined, which limits the ability of
organizations to meet their current service demands. Using a sample of
645 organizations from across Canada, this article explores the use of
revenue diversification as a response to policy changes. The findings
indicate that the factors related to voluntary organizations' in
Canada embracing revenue diversification to support program delivery
differ for organizations run by women and nongendered organizations.
