Qui prend soin des plus vulnérables ? Sur quelles épaules repose le plus massivement la part altruiste de nos sociétés ? Les femmes ont toujours été au cœur des traditions de secours aux pauvres, d’accueil des immigrants et des réfugiés, d’aide aux mères et aux enfants. Ces rôles de solidarité, parce qu’associés au foyer et à la religion, leur ont permis d’agir dans une sphère publique qui leur était par ailleurs largement interdite. Dans la première moitié du XXe siècle, l’activité philanthropique organisée a été un moteur essentiel de l’accession des femmes aux pleins droits politiques. Ce livre s’attache à faire l’histoire de trois grandes associations au Québec : la Fédération nationale Saint-Jean-Baptiste, la Young Women’s Christian Association (YWCA) et le National Council of Jewish Women. Yolande Cohen montre que les femmes qui s’y sont engagées ont apporté une contribution majeure et encore largement ignorée à l’élaboration des politiques sociales canadiennes et québécoises.

Philanthropy’s role in advancing sustainable development attracts a lot of attention. This report calls into question long-held assumptions about the volume, nature and potential of foundations’ engagement in developing countries, and the role they can play to support the SDGs. It presents ground-breaking data and analysis that capture previously non-existent global and comparable quantitative and qualitative data on how foundations support development. The report examines philanthropic resource flows for development purposes, as well as foundations’ priorities, practices and partnering behaviours. It presents fresh perspectives and action-oriented recommendations to optimise philanthropy’s role in support of sustainable development.This report offers practical insights for government policy makers and decision makers in civil society organisations, social enterprises and foundations. It results from close co-operation between the OECD Development Centre’s Network of Foundations Working for Development (netFWD) and the OECD Development Co-operation Directorate.

Philanthropy has been around for thousands of years but the study of philanthropic organizations and their role in a civil society is still recent. Most of the research focuses on organizations and institutions in developed market economies, in particular the United States. But in looking at other areas such as the global south and central and eastern Europe, major differences in a number of critical aspects emerge that challenge conventional assumptions and models of philanthropy. There, frequently resource-poor and hybrid organizations are very different from the professional, large-scale foundation in the US or western Europe, but they are nonetheless philanthropic institutions that are more reflective of local needs and capacities, and often with greater innovative potential rather than some ready-made, imported legal form could offer. This book is the result of case studies conducted as part of the International Network on Strategic Philanthropy, which focus on the role of philanthropy in the globalization process and in lesser developed economies. Throughout, they emphasize the lessons in innovation that can be taken from them, and together demonstrate that these emerging philanthropic institutions can develop their own methods and indeed offer criteria that the Western world might learn from.
