Fifty high-ranking fundraisers from across Canada were interviewed through 2008 and 2009 about changes they had witnessed since starting their careers. Fundraising as an occupation was burgeoning in this period in response to the devolution of state responsibility across the major domains of nonprofit activity: education, health care, social services, the arts, recreation, overseas humanitarian activities, and environmental protection. Welfare state retrenchment left the nonprofit and voluntary sector competing for private sources of funding with the help of these newly hired expert staff. As fundraisers worked to instill a culture of philanthropy, while targeting the ultra-rich and advocating for tax-favourable treatment of major gifts, they became both products and promoters of the neoliberal political and cultural reconstruction of Canadian society. Mary-Beth Raddon is Associate Professor at Brock University in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada. She is the current chair of the Department of Sociology and a former graduate program director of the MA in Social Justice and Equity Studies. She is a qualitative researcher in the field of economic sociology. 001463075 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001463075 650_0 $$aNeoliberalism$$zCanada. 001463075 650_0 $$aFund raising$$zCanada. 001463075 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001463075 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aRaddon, Mary-Beth.$$tBusiness of hope.$$dBasingstoke : Palgrave Macmillan, 2022$$z9783031188367$$w(OCoLC)1350352168 001463075 830_0 $$aPalgrave studies in third sector research. 001463075 852__ $$bebk 001463075 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-18837-4$$zOnline Access$$91397441.2 001463075 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1463075$$pGLOBAL_SET 001463075 980__ $$aBIB 001463075 980__ $$aEBOOK 001463075 982__ $$aEbook 001463075 983__ $$aOnline 001463075 994__ $$a92$$bISE
