Association for Nonprofit and Social Economy Research of Canada / L'Association de recherche sur les organismes sans but lucratif et de l'économie sociale du Canada

The Association for Nonprofit and Social Economy Research of Canada conducts research on nonprofits, charities, and social enterprises across Canada. The organization gathers data and produces studies to help policymakers, nonprofit leaders, and funders understand the sector's scale, impact, and challenges. Based in Toronto, the association works to fill gaps in knowledge about how nonprofits and social economy organizations operate, who they serve, and how they contribute to communities. Their research informs better policy decisions and helps strengthen the capacity of organizations working on social and economic issues. The association serves academics, practitioners, and government bodies seeking evidence-based insights into the nonprofit sector.
