| Zusammenfassung: | A vast body of literature exists on national politics and funding for women’s organisations in Canada and a small, but growing, literature exists at the subnational level. Absent from most of this literature are the experiences of women’s non-governmental organisations, specifically as they navigate shifts in funding. These experiences are significant because they provide insight into how and why some organisations survive austerity while others do not. For this reason, a survey on funding accessibility was distributed in the spring of 2017 to 72 women’s non-governmental organisations in Nova Scotia. Findings from the 25 organisations that completed the survey indicate dissatisfaction with the provincial and federal governments, and concerns over whether funding agencies are sensitive to gendered issues. |
