Summary: This community-based research was developed in collaboration with the Ontario Nonprofit Network. This is the first of five research reports which will compare different policy dimensions related to social enterprises and nonprofits in Ontario and Quebec. In this report a contextual comparison of Ontario and Quebec is followed by a profile of sources of capital for social enterprises and nonprofits. There are significant historical and socio-political contextual differences between the two provinces which are reflected in the relationship of social enterprises with government and to society-at-large. This report profiles the access to three distinct forms of capital in Ontario and Quebec - development capital, solidarity finance, and state finance. Four additional reports address: legal and regulatory regimes; organizational development support; policy representation; and research infrastructure.
