This article examines conflicting findings from two articles in a previous issue of this journal: Audet, Paquette and Bergeron (2013 Audet, F., F. Paquette, and S. Bergeron. 2013. “Religious Nongovernmental Organisations and Canadian International Aid, 2001–2010: A Preliminary Study.” Canadian Journal of Development Studies 34 (2): 291–320. doi:10.1080/02255189.2013.794721[Taylor & Francis Online], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]) reported increases in Canadian government funding to religious (and especially proselytising) NGOs after the election of the Conservative government in 2006; while Vander Zaag (2013 Vander Zaag, R. 2013. “Canadian Faith-based Development NGOs and CIDA Funding.” Canadian Journal of Development Studies 34 (2): 321–347. doi:10.1080/02255189.2013.792726[Taylor & Francis Online], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]) found no significant trend. This study reviews these two studies, and finds that the best evidence indicates there has been no significant, lasting increase in public funding to religious NGOs since 2005. This is based on analysis of the quality of the datasets used (both the organisations included and the financial data sources used), the use of a full annual time-series instead of three point-years, a statistical analysis of the differences in funding levels, assessment of the proselytising classification of some organisations and inclusion of now available data from 2011–2012
