Résumé
The study describes the landscape of collaboration between grantmaking foundations in Canada: how and why philanthropic organizations are working together towards shared goals. This topic was selected because of the dearth of research on Canadian philanthropic organizations (Rigillo et al, forthcoming; Pole, 2016) and because collaboration has been identified as part of the trend towards strategic philanthropy. Interviews were conducted with 23 key informants from the Canadian philanthropic sector, including 18 involved in current collaborations. The paper draws upon Canadian grey literature and a companion literature review prepared by Pole (2016) to examine the features unique to Canadian foundation collaboration. The study focused on collaborations of two or more foundations, while recognizing that other types of organizations are often part of collaborative activity involving grantmakers. A list of funder affinity groups as well as 37 examples of collaboration are provided in the report.
