Elles doivent présenter des comptes rendus faisant l’analyse de leurs impacts sociaux. Parallèlement, elles sont confrontées à un environnement économique et social marqué par des crises. Des enjeux tels que les changements climatiques, les inégalités de richesse, et le racisme systémique deviennent de plus en plus importants au sein de leur communauté. Les organisations, sensibles à ces problématiques, veulent les comprendre et y faire face. Cependant, les outils permettant l’analyse des crises systémiques se distinguent des modèles d’évaluation d’impact. Vu l’importance de ces deux perspectives, nous souhaitons imaginer un cadre d’analyse combinant la modélisation de l’efficience sociale et la modélisation macrosociale. Pour ce faire, nous mobilisons la notion d’effet social développée récemment par Philippe Dufort, que nous appliquons dans le cadre d’un modèle logique de l’impact social.","PeriodicalId":42673,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Nonprofit and Social Economy Research","volume":"28 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138972374","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Associant chercheuses et acteurs, la recherche-action (RA) se révèle pertinente pour répondre aux enjeux contemporains d’innovation sociale et de transition écologique, par la coproduction de connaissances duales (scientifiques et pratiques). Dans le cas présent, sa mise en oeuvre par une chercheuse-salariée sociétaire d’une coopérative invite à étudier ses dimensions épistémologiques et méthodologiques. Quelle démarche de recherche façonner pour produire de nouvelles connaissances scientifiquement éprouvées, tout en soutenant et en enrichissant les actions coopératives? Retour d’expérience réflexif, cet article vise à outiller la réalisation de RA participative en économie sociale et solidaire, par des acteurs-chercheurs et des chercheuses praticiennes, en discutant de ses apports et de ses limites.","PeriodicalId":42673,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Nonprofit and Social Economy Research","volume":"39 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139007408","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We focus on one organization, the National Mental Health Inclusion Network (NMHIN), to understand the impact of changing funding structures and to analyze how individuals and the organization respond to these changes. Neoliberal assumptions in funding arrangements resulted in a net decrease to NMHIN funds, including recent years of zero government funding, while engendering competition with larger, more established nonprofit organizations in the race for grants. Concurrently, it has also been increasingly difficult for consumer organizations to engage in meaningful policy development with government officials. Our argument is that funding changes are truly changes in the relations of ruling, aimed to position small disability organizations as a recipient rather than as initiator of policy ideas. We discuss the implications of these funding changes and the underlying relations of ruling.","PeriodicalId":42673,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Nonprofit and Social Economy Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43048822","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many challenges were reported, including ones pertaining to administration (extensive proposal requirements, lack of information and communication, and lengthy review processes), and the design of funding programs (such as a lack of flexibility available to proponents). Participants also reported limitations to the amount and nature of support provided, challenges working across different levels of government, and an uneven playing field among nonprofit and for-profit housing developers. Overall, results show that despite significant and recent investments made available for affordable housing, the nonprofit sector faces many barriers in accessing these, and that significant changes are required so that housing organizations may provide rental units to those in greatest need.","PeriodicalId":42673,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Nonprofit and Social Economy Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47802729","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Linear regression was used to analyze the financial data of a broad sample of Canadian charitable organizations. Results showed that discretionary accruals were used to manage these income figures. This approach is compounded by the magnitude of grants, public benefit, and leverage. The results hold whether the charity anticipates a surplus or a deficit, but not if it displays a high level of public benefit. In that case, charities with an anticipated surplus increase their use of discretionary accruals to decrease earnings, whereas charities that anticipate a deficit are not inclined to manage their deficit toward zero. This study complements prior literature on nonprofits and shows that even though tax laws differ among countries, charity managers in various contexts are motivated to manage earnings and are influenced by various factors in doing so.","PeriodicalId":42673,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Nonprofit and Social Economy Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41848202","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
