\n\nInstitutional logics as a framework for understanding s
ub-national third sector ecosystems: An analysis of Quebec and Scotland
\nCaitlin McMullin\, Concordia University
In this pa per\, we compare the development of the community/ social economy sectors in Scotland and Quebec\, which have developed distinct ecosystems that div erge from the liberal regimes of the UK and Canada. We employ an instituti onal logics framework to consider how the policies\, structures\, identiti es and values of each stateless nation have formed unique structures and i dentities of the third sector that distinguish them from their more powerf ul neighbours. In so doing\, we produce new evidence using a novel institu tional logics approach to refine our understanding of the development of s ub-state level third sector ecosystems.
\n\nNonprofit sector
relations with the state in an era of consensus-based governance networks
: a Scottish case study
\nJane Cullingworth\, University of
Glasgow
This presentation presents findings from a case study ex ploring the impact of a nonprofit organisation's‚ active participation in state-initiated governance networks. The study considered the impact on th e organisation‚ representation of the sector and its independence from the state. The findings suggest that the organisation‚ legitimacy as an umbre lla body was undermined by its active engagement with the state\, highligh ting the risks of sector participation in consensus-based networks. A fund amental challenge for public policy related to nonprofit/government relati ons is raised: how do civil society actors participate in democratic gover nance while maintaining autonomy from the state and legitimacy with civil society?
\n\nUnderstanding the Local Nonprofit Ecosystem: A
Data-Driven Case Study of a Community Foundation in a Socioeconomic-Challe

howski\, Utica College\; Taylor Best\, Utica College
This case s tudy reviews the collaborative engagement of a community foundation with c ollege faculty to better understand the local nonprofit ecosystem and deve lop measurable\, data-driven community objectives. The faculty team led an objective-building session with community stakeholders and analyzed open- source financial data reported in the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) nonpr ofit 990 tax forms for 2015\, 2016\, and 2017. The analysis enabled the co mmunity foundation to assess the distribution of local nonprofits and each nonprofit’s fiscal status\, while also offering a framework to facilitate coordination among nonprofits by National Taxonomy of Exempt Entities (NT EE) major groups to support broader community objectives.
