Product Description

Product Description
"Contributing Citizens" examines the relationship between private charity and the welfare state during the latter's formative years. Contrary to the assumption that public welfare and private charity are fundamentally opposed, Shirley Tillotson shows how private fundraising initiatives designed to forestall increased taxation became, by their very success, the means by which consent to progressive income tax was produced. She also reveals how fundraisers became advocates for the expansion of the state.Tillotson tells the social, cultural, and political history of Community Chests to provide a unique perspective on both the evolution of professional fundraising and the development of the welfare state. Blending a national perspective with particular case studies, she shows that fundraising work in the mid-twentieth century involved organizing and promoting social responsibility in new ways, sometimes coercively. In the 1940s and 1950s, fundraisers adopted the language of welfare state reform and helped to establish both the notion of universal contribution and the foundation of community organization from which the welfare state grew.Peopled by a host of forceful characters, this is a lively account of how raising money raised the level of Canadian democracy. "Contributing Citizens" will appeal to political, social, cultural, and economic historians and to readers interested in the voluntary philanthropic sector or welfare state policy making and administration.
