Could a philanthropic model aimed at community development enforce colonial policy rather than providing equitable economic opportunity? This research analyzes the transcripts of 20 public webinars on philanthropy and the Indian Act and maps the 54 community foundations in Manitoba, Canada. All 54 community foundations in Manitoba service only settler-dominated cities and municipalities, with none on Native communities. As community foundations serve only their specific geographical areas, the community foundations in Manitoba effectively concentrate wealth in settler-dominated cities and municipalities, taking away needed resources from Native communities. In excluding the poorest communities in Manitoba, this philanthropic model further entrenches marginalization, poverty, and health risks for Native people on Native communities.

In recent years, for the first time in Italy, impact evaluation has been requested as a standard for social projects implemented by public–private partnerships and, more specifically, a condition for them to be financed through the national educational poverty reduction program. This article presents and discusses the Developmental Outcome Monitoring and Evaluation (DOME) model, a mixed and participatory method for the impact assessment of complex and innovative educational poverty reduction programs.

Social impact accounting is a significant issue for social economy organizations (SEOs), such as associations, foundations, social enterprises, social cooperatives, and other nonprofit organizations that aim to be transparent and accountable. The academic accounting literature addresses theoretical and empirical contributions on the methods and tools of measurement, assessment, and reporting of social impact. However, there are few contributions on the emerging topic of the digitalization of the social impact accounting process. Preliminary research analyses consider digital tools such as distributed ledgers including blockchain, big data, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things as innovations that allow SEOs to be more accountable and transparent with their social impacts and value created. The increased attention to these technologies opens the way for new and multidisciplinary research questions on this topic.

Common Approach to Impact Measurement (Common Approach) is a set of four flexible impact measurement standards designed to empower charities, nonprofits, coops, social purpose businesses (collectively referred to as social purpose organizations or SPOs), and those they serve to identify which impacts are most meaningful. These standards are not designed to make measurement more rigorous or more accurate; rather, they make measurement more useful and interoperable, and, eventually, more attuned to the priorities of those impacted.
影响衡量的共同方法（Common Approach to Impact Measurement，简称“共同方法”）是一套由四个灵活的影响衡量标准组成的标准，旨在增强慈善机构、非营利组织、合作社、社会目的企业（统称为社会目的组织或SPO）以及它们所服务的确定哪些影响最有意义的企业的能力。这些标准并不是为了使测量更严格或更准确而设计的；相反，它们使测量更加有用和可互操作，并最终更加适应受影响者的优先事项。

Dans le débat actuel, l’innovation sociale est analysée comme un outil politique utile pour renforcer le développement rural et contrecarrer la marginalisation dans les zones rurales. Dans ce contexte, il est nécessaire de valoriser la fonction sociale de l’agriculture en tant que productrice de valeurs hors marché et ancrées dans le territoire. La coopérative agricole peut être un vecteur d’innovation sociale et de développement rural dans les zones marginales en tant qu’organisation hybride qui, tout en s’inscrivant dans un contexte de marché et de profit, fonctionne selon une logique d’utilité sociale, orientée vers le soutien de ses membres et des communautés locales. Toutefois, il ne s’agit pas d’un processus automatique. Comment et pourquoi la coopération agricole émerge-t-elle et nperdure-t-elle sur un territoire? Quel est le rôle de la confiance? Dans quelle mesure les structures coopératives actuelles subissent-elles la dépendance au chemin emprunté? Comment les coopératives agricoles innovent-t-elles et quelles sont leurs limites? Cet article vise à répondre à ces questions à partir d’une étude de cas : le système coopératif de bergers sur une île rurale méditerranéenne.

This article explores the role of place-based philanthropy in rural community development through a case study of the Skeena watershed. The Skeena is an ecologically significant region in Northwest British Columbia that is confronting the complex and layered forces of change being experienced by many rural regions in Canada. Through qualitative interviews and document analyses, the article illustrates how a robust ecosystem of environmental community-based organizations (CBOs), funded by philanthropic capital, is extending beyond traditional environmental advocacy to fill important structural gaps in community development. Though pressed by capacity issues, the sector is shifting towards highly integrated and collaborative responses to development pressures and charting alternative pathways for development in the region. The complexity and scope of pressures in the Skeena offer insights for other rural regions and the dynamic potential and challenges associated with place-based philanthropy in community and regional development processes.

Cette notion désigne de nouveaux lieux intermédiairesentre travailler, vivre au quotidien, et socialiser. Ces trois fonctions, que le capitalisme sous la régulationfordiste a eu tendance à séparer, sont rapprochées par diverses modalités d’action qui ontcours depuis les années 2000. Dans ce cadre, les tiers-lieux représentent des points d’ancrage dela vie communautaire qui favorisent des échanges plus approfondis et plus créatifs au niveau local,permettant ainsi d’entretenir la sociabilité, notamment dans le contexte de l’après COVID-19. Lestiers-lieux offrent l’occasion de repenser les lieux de travail et les mobilités, de revoir les approchesenvers l’aménagement des territoires et de réétudier la relation entre le local et le global.

Longitudinal studies conducted within the social economy have the potential to provide useful insights by tracing participant experiences and illuminating long-term outcomes of program interventions. However, longitudinal studies are challenging, not only due to retention of participants, but also when a longitudinal study covers a broad geographic area. The authors collaborated in a five-year pan-Canadian longitudinal study following youth participants in work-integration social enterprise (WISE) training programs. This article traces the experiences of study teams in Ontario and Greater Vancouver, providing accounts of the approaches and challenges encountered when working in geographically and socio-economically diverse locales over time with youth participants facing social marginalization. This article highlights three aspects of data collection—recruitment, retention, and research methods and logistics—offering insights into how each team devised its own strategies to fit with local circumstances while maintaining consistency across research sites.

COVID-19 has presented unprecedented challenges to the nonprofit sector, and while evidence is accruing about its impact on nonprofit finances and operations, less is known about how nonprofit workers are faring. With so many organizations in the increasingly professionalized nonprofit sector reliant upon their paid staff, this study assesses how COVID-19 has changed the way nonprofit workers think about their current and future work. We use a survey of nonprofit workers who have a nonprofit graduate degree to describe pandemic-related work changes and to explore the impact of these changes on their commitment to the sector. Our findings reveal that nonprofit workers are nuanced in how they approach their work and commitment to the sector. We distill our findings considerate of how future research should endeavor to unpack the degree to which workers’ personal and professional circumstances affect how they think about their work in the sector.
