Reinventing Canada’s Nonprofit Sector post-COVID-19

 

Canada’s nonprofit sector is being transformed by COVID-19: its future will entail reinvention, not just recovery. Obvious changes involve new financing models and service redesign with greater use of technology. The reassertion of place – doing, buying and giving locally – will need to be reconciled with support for global causes and capacity for collective, cross-sector action. Public and civic trust have been both strengthened and diminished by the crisis. Historic policy neglect of the nonprofit sector will need to be replaced with genuine partnerships with governments. This presentation explores this reinvention, and how scholarship can support it.
