A new voluntary sector research association is being established in Canada. ANSER,
the Association for Nonprofit and Social Economy Research, is for those who have
an interest in “research that pertains broadly to nonprofit organisations and the
social economy”.
ANSER aims to build a collaborative community of scholars and researchers,
and to develop a Canadian body of knowledge that encompasses fields such as community
economic development, philanthropy, nonprofits management, volunteering, social 
and environmental accounting, government/voluntary sector relationships, social 
movements, citizen engagement, and civil society.
