Abstract:
This study compared fund raising appeals that used either (1) no photograph, (2) a pleasant “positive” photograph, or (3) a less pleasant, needy “negative” photograph. Working closely with World Vision Canada, a humanitarian relief and development organization, the authors used the organization's donor list to create three treatment groups of more than 15,000 each to receive fund raising letters. Dependent variables included response rate and amount of money donated. The no photograph condition resulted in the highest response rate but the letter with the positive photograph yielded the highest average contribution. The negative photograph resulted in fewest responses and lowest contributions.

Abstract:
I am new to applied anthropology. Nearly all of my past research has been on inter-ethnic relations, carried out on Indian reserves in western Canada. I have now served several years as a volunteer fund-raiser at the North American Indian Center of Boston, Inc. (NAICOB). In this article I will relate what I have learned, and am learning, about the occupation. I will speculate on how my training and experience as research anthropologist have contributed to work at the Center.

Abstract:
AbstractThis article explores the constituency dimension of campaign financing in the 1984 and 1988 federal elections in Canada. The analysis uncovers considerable variability in the capacity of constituency parties to attract campaign donations. These variations appear to be related to the past local and regional strengths of parties, to the expected closeness of the current contest, and to whether incumbents are running for re-election. Multivariate analyses suggest that these political variables have a broadly consistent impact on fund-raising after other features of the socio-economic diversity of constituencies have been controlled.

Abstract:
The article explores investment position of pension funds which become important actors in the national economies and world investment flows; with comparative analysis of the pension funds based in different countries with different models of pension systems and investment regulatory practices. The role of pension funds as investors is based on accumulating growing funding which become nearly half of total OECD gross domestic product. The assets of pension funds in the second decade of the century are concentrated in US, United Kingdom, Canada, with pension funds in other countries less than 5% for each country. But assets of pension funds based in some other countries show significant growth. The article focuses on the pension funds’ assets structure and compares those in different countries. The perspectives of investment pension assets in the national economies and abroad will depend among other factors on the regulation of pension funds and their investments. Focusing on ensuring better access to different investment opportunities in the domestic market and abroad should go hand in hand with raising standards of risk management in pension fund investment.

Abstract:
This study provides empirical evidence that using the minimum wage as a tool to generate extra taxes to establish a fully publically-funded higher education system is a harmless approach to boost funding for human capital development without changing governments spending priorities or raising current tax rates. The paper proposes a method to finance human capital development through higher education by generating more income taxes from a higher minimum wage and through an effective link of the minimum wage to the Consumer Price Index (CPI) in Canada. The paper also argues that indexed minimum wage adjustments will help in fighting poverty, maintain an acceptable living standard for minimum wage workers, reduce dependence on government subsidies, and make-work more attractive. The paper concludes that using minimum wage adjustments as a tool to generate tax revenues and fund higher education could be an effective fiscal tool and could be considered a safe political instrument.

Abstract:
The article is devoted to the study of theoretical and practical issues on effective strategies of double capacity building for family and school unification in the Republic of Kazakhstan. In this regard, the world practices of effective strategies for uniting family and school were studied. Among foreign studies, it is necessary to distinguish such forms of education with a greater share of parental participation as homeschooling. In the United States (3 % of all school children, about 1.5 million people), Canada, and the United Kingdom. In Russia — from 70 to 100 thousand children. In Kazakhstan offer various forms from absolute «loosening» and «unschooling» («unschooling») to distance learning, including in online schools, and external exams, for example, via Skype. American Association Boston Basic: partners and advisors operate mainly on charitable donations from the public and the government. The primary role of the Association is to educate black par-ents in raising children from birth. The U.S. Department of Education and Science's Early Childhood Longi-tudinal Study Program (ECLS) includes four longitudinal studies that examine child development, school readiness, and early school experience. In domestic practice, the Private Fund «Just Support» (Almaty, Ka-zakhstan) should be highlighted. The Fund works with 30 educational organizations of Almaty city and 30 organizations of East Kazakhstan region. The Fund's mission is to contribute to the development of the Re-public of Kazakhstan's human capital.

Abstract:
Many prostate cancer support groups (PCSGs) have formed in North America during the past decade, yet their operation or factors influencing sustainability are poorly understood. This article reports micro (intragroup), meso (intergroup), and macro (group/structure) analyses drawn from the fieldwork and participant observations conducted for an ethnographic study of PCSGs based in British Columbia, Canada. The findings indicate that effective group leadership is integral to group sustainability and the recruitment and retention of attendees. At the meso level, intergroup connections and communication were often informal; however, the primary purpose of all the PCSGs was to provide information and support to men and their families. Many PCSGs were uncertain how formal associations with cancer fund-raising societies would influence group effectiveness. Macro issues such as prostate cancer activism resided with individual group “champions” through activities coordinated by provincial and national PCSG organizations. However, activism did not guarantee group sustainability. The study findings reveal why some groups flourish while others appear untenable, and form the basis for discussion about how PCSG sustainability might be best achieved.

Abstract:
AbstractJohn Rawls contended that an overlapping consensus for “political liberalism” could be found in different ways across the range of comprehensive systems of value in western societies. Three recent conflicts concerning the relationship of church and state in Canada involving the Catholic Bishop of Calgary, Frederick Henry, provide an opportunity to consider Rawls' ideas in a specific societal context. The first of these conflicts — Henry's call for the excommunication of Catholic Prime Minister Paul Martin for legalizing same-sex marriage — suggests that the resources for a Rawlsian overlapping consensus may be difficult to find in Catholicism. The refusal of the Calgary Catholic School Board to obey Henry's order to end the use of gambling related school fund-raising, the second of the Bishop's “travails,” undercuts that conclusion, but the moral emptiness of the vocabulary of cultural liberalism, which the Board deployed in its self-justifications, suggests that too much liberalism might be almost as regrettable as too little. Henry's third travail — a call before the Human Rights Commission to answer charges of “discriminatory public speech” for his public criticisms of homosexuality — suggests the merit of recognizing an alternative to overlapping consensus as the source of Catholic recognition of Rawlsian political liberalism: reciprocity.

"What Medical Crowdfunding Campaigns Can Tell Us About Local Health System Gaps and Deficiencies: Exploratory Analysis of British Columbia, Canada."

Abstract:
Background There are a range of perceived gaps and shortcomings in the publicly funded Canadian health system. These include wait times for care, lack of public insurance coverage for dental care and pharmaceuticals, and difficulties accessing specialist care. Medical crowdfunding is a response to these gaps where individuals raise funds from their social networks to address health-related needs. Objective This study aimed to investigate the potential of crowdfunding data to better understand what health-related needs individuals are using crowdfunding for, how these needs compare with the existing commentary on health system deficiencies, and the advantages and limitations of using crowdfunding campaigns to enhance or augment our understanding of perceived health system deficiencies. Methods Crowdfunding campaigns were scraped from the GoFundMe website. These campaigns were then limited to those originating in the metropolitan Vancouver region of two health authorities during 2018. These campaigns were then further limited to those raising funds to allow the treatment of a medical problem or related to needs arising from ill health. These campaigns were then reviewed to identify the underlying health issue and motivation for pursuing crowdfunding. Results We identified 423 campaigns for health-related needs. These campaigns requested CAD $8,715,806 (US $6,088,078) in funding and were pledged CAD $3,477,384 (US $2,428,987) from 27,773 donors. The most common underlying medical condition for campaign recipients was cancer, followed by traumatic injuries from collisions and brain injury and stroke. By far, the most common factor of motivation for crowdfunding was seeking financial support for wages lost because of illness (232/684, 33.9%). Some campaigns (65/684, 9.5%) sought help with purchasing medical equipment and supplies; 8.2% (56/684) sought to fund complementary, alternative, or unproven treatments including experimental interventions; 7.2% (49/684) sought financial support to cover travel-related costs, including in-province and out-of-province (49/684, 7.2%) travel; and 6.3% (43/684) campaigns sought help to pay for medication. Conclusions This analysis demonstrates the potential of crowdfunding data to present timely and context-specific user-created insights into the perceived health-related financial needs of some Canadians. Although the literature on perceived limitations of the Canadian health system focuses on wait times for care and limited access to specialist services, among other issues, these campaigners were much more motivated by gaps in the wider social system such as costs related to unpaid time off work and travel to access care. Our findings demonstrate spatial differences in the underlying medical problems, motivations for crowdfunding, and success using crowdfunding that warrants additional attention. These differences may support established concerns that medical crowdfunding is most commonly used by individuals from relatively privileged socioeconomic backgrounds. We encourage the development of new resources to harness the power of crowdfunding data as a supplementary source of information for Canadian health system stakeholders.

Abstract:
This chapter discusses how the outbreak of the First World War led to the widespread use of the imagery of ‘military Scottishness’ in Canada, not only as part of recruiting efforts, but also for other wartime purposes, including propaganda and fund-raising. In some cases, materials made use of Scottish cultural references, even when explicitly “Scottish” images were not present. In a country with numerous identified and self-identifying cultural identities, it is worth noting that many of the materials that made use of “Scottish” imagery were not explicitly targeting Scottish Canadians. This was not always the case for recruiting efforts using imagery associated with other identifiable groups, and suggests that for some at least a Scottish military identity could embrace non-Scots. Much of the chapter’s focus is on the uses and expressions of military Scottishness in First World War Canada, but it also places this experience within a wider context, including the Second World War and into the present day. Overall, this chapter addresses a number of questions about military identity and its relationship to other competing national and cultural identities within Canada.

Abstract:
A person reading an average of sixteen books per year is considered high even in so-called First World countries. This achievement is even more remarkable if it is performed by children of low-income families. An example is the participants of PETI, Child Labor Eradication Program of Jardim Canedo, a neighborhood located over part of the Sa˜o Paulo - Brasi´lia Pipeline, situated in Senador Canedo, Goia´s, Brazil. In 2007 this community experienced the Striving Readers Transpetro Program, which aims to develop a taste for reading among children. Transpetro expects to be helping to overcome the low-quality Brazilian education, reflected in the 72% rate of functional illiteracy. The chief objective of the Program is the development of art education workshops and the creation of the “Readers Group - What story is that?”. The workshops are meant for the educators, with the purpose of offering tools form them to spur the children into reading through techniques such as story-telling, theater, singing, puppet shows, set constructions and other audio visual resources. The Readers Group is intended for children. Participation is voluntary and offers literary books according to the childs’ taste and literacy. In the first year of operation, Striving Readers Transpetro Program relied on the participation of 100% of the educators in the Art Education Workshops and a commitment of 93% of the Readers Group members. It also played a part in the improvement of the childrens performance in formal school. Furthermore, the Program contributed to the mapping of libraries available for PETI members, supported the assembly of a catalogue of institutes that sponsor striving readers programs and performed workshops with the technical staff at selected institutes to educate them on how to conduct fund raising. Such actions, as a whole, ensured sustainability to the program and promoted a company relationship with the community and with the Regulatory Authority. This is a socially responsible approach to ensuring childrens’ rights are met.
