Case Studies: How Canadian Grantmakers Can Help Leave a Legacy of Enhanced Volunteerism
This collection of three case studies was developed to stimulate thought about how grantmakers can help leave a legacy of enhanced volunteerism across the country, beyond the International Year of Volunteers 2001. The collection looks, in turn, at inspiring initiatives by a community foundation, by a United Way - Centraide, and by a private foundation. The case studies were developed by Community Foundations of Canada and United Way of Canada - Centraide Canada.
