This three-part research report is the result of a collaboration between the Ateliers des savoirs partagés (ASP) initiative and a team of researchers from the Canadian Research Partnership Network on Philanthropy (PhiLab). The purpose of this collaboration is to carry out exploratory partnership research on the relationship between Quebec’s «grant-making philanthropic sector and the rural world». The first part of the project involves a survey of the scientific and organizational literature, establishing a theoretical and definitional work. The results of a recent query of the Canada Revenue Agency database are then used to paint a portrait of rural philanthropy in Quebec. The second section offers a summary of interviews conducted with ASP respondents and foundations. Finally, the third section offers a reflection on financing options and the contribution of philanthropy to ASP sustainability.
