Lynn Eakin delivered her presentation The Impact of Current Funding Practices on Non-Profit Community Organizations at the CCVO event Funding of Overhead.

The presentation was based on Eakin's research report Community Capacity Draining: The Impact of Current Funding Practices on Non-Profit Community Organizations.

This presentation by Katherine Scott, Vice President of Research with the Canadian Council on Social Development, was delivered to CCVO on September 28 2004.

Ms. Scott's presentation provided a national perspective on the current funding regime as well as future directions on funding.

The capacity of the nonprofit and voluntary sector to fulfill its important role in Canadian society is being undermined and eroded by new funding strategies that are intended to increase accountability, self-sufficiency and competition. This study describes the emergence of a this new funding regime for the nonprofit and voluntary sector and warns of serious challenges for the sustainability of a cross-section of organizations and their not- for-profit community services that benefit millions of Canadians.
