FOUNDATION FOR ASSOCIATION RESEARCH AND EDUCATION/FONDATION DE RECHERCHE ET D'ENSEIGNEMENT POUR L'AVANCEMENT DES ASSOCIATIONS

The Foundation for Association Research and Education supports academic research and educational programming that strengthens nonprofit and voluntary sector organizations across Canada. Based in North York, the foundation funds studies into how associations and nonprofits operate more effectively, sponsors educational initiatives for sector leaders, and disseminates research findings to practitioners and policymakers. The organization recognizes that voluntary associations form the backbone of Canadian civil society and invests in knowledge that helps these groups serve their communities better. Through grants and educational projects, the foundation builds the evidence base for organizational management, governance, and sector development while fostering dialogue between researchers, nonprofit professionals, and association members.
