Description
The Western Hub acknowledges that the West represents a vital and unique component of Canada’s philanthropic sector. The diversity of western Canada, consisting of the provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia, presents interesting challenges for donors, philanthropic organizations, and charities. As a result, the Western Hub created its own website – Funders in the West to serve as a knowledge exchange platform where grant-making research findings are shared with the philanthropic sector for the betterment of their funding practices. Western Hub researchers are keen on connecting with funders and fundees to work together in responding to the philanthropic sector’s needs in Western Canada. They do so by mobilizing knowledge, expertise and resources. Our Hub seeks to create a robust and diverse for-public-benefit sector in the West by supporting the production and dissemination of new, exciting, and impactful research related to charitable giving and funding models, collective impact, and grassroots philanthropy.
