The Effects of Operational, Long Term Funding on Charities 

Description

This proposal is a collaboration of the United Way of Greater Toronto, PhiLab and the research team of the SSHRC Insight Grant on Financing Charities (Susan Phillips, PI) with the aim of studying the effects of sustained operational funding on human service charities over a fifteen-year period.

This project examines the effects of sustained operational funding on human service nonprofits over a fifteen-year period relative to comparable organizations that lacked such support as a component of their grants.
