Walking the Regulatory Line
Foundations exist to support charitable causes over an extended period, allowing investment returns to improve social conditions. In many countries, this is regulated by a required payout percentage each year. The existing research, overwhelmingly from the United States, has examined foundations' regulatory compliance under the static conditions of the longstanding rule of distribution of 5% of assets annually. Drawing on regulatory behavior theo…
Through the Looking-Glass
Foundations are under increased scrutiny as to the source, investment, and use of their assets. Although disclosure of total assets and disbursements is mandatory in many countries, information on investment portfolios is not required and, historically, foundations have rarely volunteered suchninformation. However, the rise of trust-based philanthropy and interest in impact and responsible investing encourage greater voluntary investment transpar…

Under the influence
Celebrity is a form of policy influence that can occur under distinctive circumstances. This paper draws on the regulatory/policy capture literature to develop a model of celebrity capture that explains how interest groups can affect policy in the absence of economic clout or constituency mobilization. We posit that the likelihood of celebrity capture increases when several factors align: (1) a context open to change; (2) reduced oversight in dec…
Women and Career Development
The review offered by Fouad et al. (2023) provides a critical mirror on the literature on women and career development. In this reaction paper, I discuss three of the critical questions that are raised: Why aren’t we “there” yet? What has this quarter of a century of study added to our knowledge? What do we still need to know
Non-Profit Long-Term Care in Ontario
The disastrous effects of the 2019 pandemic have demonstrated the need for comprehensive reform of the policy, regulatory, and financing regimes of long-term care in Canada, including strengthening the non-profit component of the care system. In this article, we assess the implications of the evolution of Ontario’s long-term-care policy on non-profit providers. We analyze the revenue trends and financial health of charitable long-term-care homes …
Donor Advised Funds in Canada, Australia and the US
Donor Advised Funds (DAFs) are the fastest growing destination for charitable giving, and subject to vigorous debate over whether they should be more tightly regulated. Virtually all of the research on DAFs and the arguments for increased regulation emanate from the US. This article compares regulation in Canada and Australia with the US to demonstrate how different regimes lead to different uses of DAFs and different ‘market’ configurations. The…
Beyond Covid‐19
Several Canadian and international scholars offer commentaries on the implications of the COVID‐19 pandemic for governments and public service institutions, and fruitful directions for public administration research and practice. This second suite of commentaries considers the challenges confronting governments as a result of the COVID‐19 pandemic and in the decades to come with an increasingly broad lens: the need to understand and rethink the a…
Putting Humpty Together Again
Investigations of how Oxfam Great Britain (GB) managed its safeguarding systems and handled revelations of sexual exploitation by its staff highlighted a variety of internal governance and culture issues, and a lack of transparency as it sought to protect its reputation. The current models of reputation management do not fully explain its actions, however. This article argues that five systemic factors in the environment in which nonprofits opera…
Dancing with giraffes
The role of institutionalized philanthropy is a blind spot in Canadian scholarship on public management. This article identifies five ways in which private “family” foundations add value to public management: through their roles in grantmaking; advancing social innovation; field building; shaping ideas; and advocating for policy and social change. An assessment of how well Canada's largest family foundations—those holding more than $100 million i…
An uncomfortable conversation
Knowledge as Leadership, Belonging as Community
The concept of “community” in community foundations is being reframed – less strictly tied to the specific locales that originally defined their boundaries and increasingly about a process of engagement and a resulting sense of belonging. The greatest asset of a community foundation is not the size of its endowment, but its knowledge of community and ability to use this knowledge for positive change. This article explores the Canadian network of …

The Changing and Challenging Environment of Nonprofit Human Services
Nonprofit human service agencies are an essential part of the social safety net and their role in many policy fields such as community care, workforce development, and disability services is growing. The funding, delivery and entire configuration of human services systems is in transition in the US, as in many other countries, albeit with great variation depending upon local and regional circumstances. Consequently, nonprofit human service agenci…
A Dawn of Convergence?
Since the 2008 financial crisis, the third sector policy and regulatory regimes in the ‘Anglo-Saxon cluster’ have been subject to considerable policy churn. Comparing the reforms in the ‘meta-policies,’ regulations and financing in England, US, Canada and Australia, this analysis identifies both significant policy convergence and divergence. A new ideational landscape has emerged that is dominated by a focus on transparency, impact and social inn…
Shining Light on Charities or Looking in the Wrong Place? Regulation-by-Transparency in Canada
The nature of charity reporting and transparency is changing significantly; while the longstanding focus on financial reporting remains, there is much greater emphasis on illuminating governance systems and impacts. Regulatory regimes are becoming more polycentric with the expansion of third party watchdogs and emergence of new self-regulatory bodies. With more open access to data, transparency has become an independent force in these regimes. Th…
Developing a better understanding of community foundations in the UK’s localisms
Recent policy emphases in the United Kingdom (UK) show growing attention to localism interconnected with philanthropy. This appears to offer significant opportunities for community foundations – geographically embedded multi-purpose charities envisaged as combining various grant-making roles with community leadership. Using a theoretical framework derived from political geography, we explore and conceptualise how community foundations conceive an…
Dual restructuring
Beginning in 1985 the Government of Canada significantly restructured and retrenched the welfare state, relatively undeterred by public or organised opposition. The ability of Canadian civil society organisations (CSOs) to influence the outcomes of reform was minimal at the best of times, and has diminished over time. In part, this stems from the underlying fragility of Canadian CSOs, even in their most activist period. Over the past three decade…
Canadian Leapfrog
The regulation of charitable fundraising is no longer just about the regulation of fundraising but about good governance, and increasingly involves co-regulatory regimes which blend elements of self- and state regulation. Canada’s charitable sector has undertaken a bold experiment in creating a comprehensive certification system for good governance, including fundraising, which reframes the target of regulation from the informed donor to the well…
Financing the third sector
Civil society organizations (nonprofits, social enterprises, voluntary, community and charitable organizations) are not only an integral part of the delivery of health, education, social, and other services in most developed countries, but also critical contributors to a healthy democracy and a strong economy. How civil society organizations are financed is a key aspect of their sustainability. Such financing is undergoing significant innovation …
From shopping to social innovation
Governments are an important source of funding for the nonprofit and voluntary sector. Yet, the use of funding instruments is conditioned by the political and institutional context. This paper proposes three financing models – charity, welfare state and citizenship – which capture the link between the choice of public financing and the broader institutional context. The financing models are then used to examine the evolution of funding patterns i…
An exploratory study of the range of implications of families' criminal justice system involvement in child welfare cases
The relationship between witnessing arrests and elevated symptoms of posttraumatic stress
More Than Parents in Prison
Because of the dramatic rise in incarceration rates during the past two decades, children of incarcerated parents have been a topic of increasing interest. Children who have parents in jail or prison, however, are only a subgroup of the children child protective services agencies encounter who have parents who are involved with the criminal justice system. According to data from the National Survey of Child and Adolescent Well-Being, the primary …

Use of Mental Health Services by Youth in Contact with Social Services
This article compares mental health service need and use among three groups of children: those with a history of foster care placement, those in contact with departments of social services but never in placement, and those from impoverished families who have not been in contact with social services. Data come from a longitudinal epidemiologic study of mental health problems and service use. All three groups show very high rates of mental health p…
Disentangling the Risks
Research Summary: The analyses reported in this article are based on data from a longitudinal epidmiologic study of youth from 11 rural counties in North Carolina—the Great Smoky Mountains Study. Nearly half (47.4%) of the children in the population represented in this study had a parent or other parent figure who had been arrested as an adult. Analyses showed that parent risk factors (i.e., substance abuse, mental illness, and lack of education)…

The snakes and ladders of accountability
Although governing in Canada is in transition towards a model of horizontal “governance” that emphasizes collaboration with a variety of non‐governmental actors, the contracting culture and its associated accountability regime remain a legacy of “new public management.” As part of this transition, however, contracting is being used not only as a means to control performance but also as a governance tool to guide the development of more collaborat…
A Theory-Building Investigation of the School-to-Work Transition
This study sought to enhance an understanding of the school-to-work transition for work-bound high school students. The objective was to identify individual and contextual factors relevant to the school-to-work transition. The authors obtained interview data from a diverse sample of 45 employed young men and women (aged 18-29) who have been in this transition during the past 10 years. Using a grounded theory approach, a coding system was develope…
Meaning and Structure in Social Movements
Social movements are conceived of as networks that provide structures within which organizations negotiate meaning through the construction of collective identities. Network analysis is applied as a method for mapping the relationship among 33 national Canadian women's organizations. Results show that these diverse groups form an expansive, but loosely coupled, network that is bound by a collective identity of “liberalized” feminism. However, min…

Making Career Decisions in a Relational Context
The authors describe the results of a discovery-oriented investigation in which they examined the role of relationships in career decision making. Using the responses of 58 young adults who were asked about their real-life career decision making in the course of the transition from school to work, the authors performed a qualitative analysis that addressed questions about the ways in which others are involved in individual decision making. Their …
Who Does What” in Ontario
Since the election of the Mike Harris Conservative government in 1995, Ontario has been the site of some of the most turbulent provincial‐local relations ever experienced in a Canadian province. The province's agenda has included restructuring and realigning the responsibilities and resources of municipal governments and asserting control over the financing and governance of Ontario's education system. The sheer size of this agenda and the interc…

Reconsidering gender and public administration
In this paper, we propose a needed reconceptualization of the study of gender and public administration that is sensitive to emerging issues of public‐service renewal. Five central themes are examined and new research directions illustrated. The first theme is the nature of commitment. We argue in favour of the development of new social ecological models for the study of work and suggest ways in which personal projects analysis as a methodology c…

Locus of control and the generality of learned helplessness in humans
To examine the effects of learned helplessness on tasks used to assess the aftereffects of stress, 42 internal and external undergraduates (selected by scores on a brief form of Rotter's Internalâ External Locus of Control Scale) were pretreated with contingent or noncontingent nonnoxious reinforcement using a yoking procedure to control for amount of trials and reinforcement. Both internal and external noncontingent Ss performed more poorly on s…
Counselor Training Via Computer
Findings from a decade of research on using computers in counseling have suggested that the computer may be considered not only as an informational support system and an adjunct to counseling, but also that it may have applications in counselor training. This article (a) outlines the capacities and characteristics currently available in computer technology as they relate to the tasks and methods of counselor education and (b) reviews available co…
Contributions and Limitations in the Use of Computers in Counselor Training
This article examines the role of computer technology in counselor preparation. Three aspects of counselor training-acquisition of facts and theory, development of specific skills, and personal and professional development-are discussed in terms of the potential contributions and limitations of computers in training efforts

Women Prisoners
As a consequence of “the war on dmgs” and “take a bite out of crime” policies, the prison population in the United States has increased dramatically. One of the seldom discussed consequences of these policies is their impact on women. Between 1980 and 1994 the population of women inmates increased 386% compared to a 214% increase in the male prison population. The majority of these women are mothers who were living with minor children before bein…

Learning from experience? Ottawa as a cautionary tale of reforming Urban government
This article examines the saga of local government restructuring in Canada's capital city. Specifically, it analyzes the interplay between provincial and local agendas for local government reform over many years, which culminated in provincial legislation and a one‐year transition process to establish one municipality for the Ottawa city region. In doing so, the article addresses the extent to which the Ottawa transition demonstrates learning fro…
