The Philanthropist

"The Philanthropist" is a quarterly academic journal devoted to the law, management and accounting issues facing charitable and not-for-profit organizations. It was founded as an occasional publication of the Trusts and Estates Section of the Canadian Bar Association - Ontario (now the [http://www.oba.org Ontario Bar Association] ) in Toronto, Ontario, Canada in 1972. Its first Editor was Bertha Wilson, later a judge of the Supreme Court of Canada. For a time during the 1980s it was an official publication of the Canadian Centre for Philanthropy (now [http://www.imaginecanada.ca Imagine Canada] ). It derives its funding from the sale of subscriptions and from the Agora Foundation in Toronto. The Ontario Law Reform Commission's Report on the Law of Charities (1996) called it "informed rather than learned". Its content is overseen by a volunteer Editorial Board drawn from the charitable sector, law, accounting and academia.
