Imagine Canada Releases Paper on Charities as an Economic Sector - Member News - Member - AFP: "On June 23, 2015, Imagine Canada released a discussion paper entitled Charities in Canada as an Economic Sector (the “Paper”) by Brian Emmett, Imagine Canada’s chief economist for Canada’s Charitable and Nonprofit Sector, and Geoffrey Emmett, research assistant. It was written to “take a balanced look at the Canadian charitable sector from an economic point of view.” In doing so, the Paper emphasizes the important role and scope of the charitable sector in Canada’s economy, discusses revenue sources for charities, and briefly highlights policy implications stemming from the sector’s role in the economy. Overall, the authors stress that while charities are not analogous to for-profit businesses, the impact that they have on the economy is equally strong and is a necessary part of the broader economic picture."
