CANADIAN NONPROFIT ANNUAL REPORTS (CNAR)
Internet Prospector, October '97
It isn't clear what will develop from this new site but it will be
worth monitoring. CNAR plans to provide nonprofits with a centralized
place to find information about grant seekers and grant makers by posting
the annual reports for nonprofits. This sounds like a dream-come-true
for researchers, doesn't it? Now in its infancy, the CNAR site only had
posted (literally) a couple of nonprofits' annual reports at this writing.
In the meantime check out the Research section for hotlinks to other nonprofit
sites.
