As they celebrate their 25th anniversary this year, Philanthropic Foundations Canada (PFC) has released, in partnership with PhiLab. In this report, PhiLab and PFC partnered to create a post-doctoral role. The research project was managed through PFC and designed collaboratively with PFC staff and the researcher. The opportunity was to create a “landscape” report to combine academic and practice-based research and perspectives. The task was large, and for PFC, this report marks a first edition, not a final edition. In future years, PFC’s landscape reports will continue to seek to capture the breadth of the sector and the depth of its complexity.

This report builds upon PFC’s twenty years of research, specifically the sector snapshot data reports and investment surveys, to bring together a more holistic view of Canada’s philanthropic foundations. The report synthesizes additional academic and practice research to complement these sources. It offers new empirical data on foundation regulation, assets, and grantmaking. The goal is to provide a deeper understanding of Canada’s philanthropic foundations for the public, policymakers and foundations themselves. The research also conceptualizes the purposes, approaches, and roles of Canada’s philanthropic foundations through The Foundation Triangle. This conceptualization provides a framework and language by which changes over time can be viewed and explored.
