Between State and Market is a 594-page book that “surveys and critiques the existing literature on charities law as well as the laws themselves. The authors offer policy prescriptions for the future of an increasingly vital sector of Canadian society." After an overview of the charitable sector in Canada, Part One contains four essays on altruism and voluntarism. Part Two contains five papers on the legal definition of charity. Part Three deals with the tax status of charities. Part Four contains three essays on regulatory challenges in non-profit corporation law.

Abstract:

---------------------

This 35-page excerpt attempts to assist lawyers to better understand the complexities (legal and practical) of the law of charitable and not-for-profit organizations and to provide legal services to their clients in this area of law. It attempts to make the law, policies and practices more transparent. It distinguishes between “charitable” and “not-for-profit” organizations and reviews the options for legal structures (trust, unincorporated organization, corporation or co-operative corporation without share capital), and their advantages and disadvantages.
