The Muttart Foundation has just published Canada’s first, comprehensive book about our country’s sector: “Intersections and Innovations: Change in Canada’s Voluntary and Nonprofit Sector,” edited by Susan D. Phillips and Bob Wyatt.

Featuring 36 chapters by 52 academics and sector leaders, the e-book is freely available at muttart.org/intersections. You can access individual chapters or the full, 680-page e-book, all of it published under a Creative Commons licence, which allows free, non-commercial use.

Read a review of the book: “Straight to the pool room for this book!”

“This is an amazing new resource for those studying or interested in Canada’s voluntary sector,” Dr. Susan Phillips says. “The authors have explored topics ranging from fundraising to governance, the sector’s history to its work in effecting public policy.”
