Blending a national perspective with rich case studies of Halifax, Ottawa, and Vancouver, Shirley Tillotson shows that fundraising work in the mid-twentieth century involved organizing and promoting social responsibility in new ways, sometimes coercively. In the 1940s and 1950s, fundraisers adopted the language of welfare state reform and helped to establish both the notion of universal contribution and the foundation of community organization from which major social policies grew. Peopled by a host of forceful characters, this is a lively account of how raising money raised the level of Canadian democracy. 606 $aCharities$xPolitical aspects$zCanada 606 $aPublic welfare$zCanada$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aWelfare state$zCanada$xHistory 615 0$aCharities$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aPublic welfare$xHistory 615 0$aWelfare state$xHistory. 676 $a361.70971/09041 700 $aTillotson$b Shirley Maye$f1956-$01500070 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780857503321 996 $aContributing citizens$93726592 997 $aUNINA
