This article reports on the findings of a study conducted in three regions of Québec between 2018 and 2020 with 39 nonprofit organizations and several representatives of philanthropic foundations in the homecare sector. We questioned them about: the evolution of the relations between philanthropy and nonprofits, the role of the State and the population’s needs (seniors and their caregivers) over the past twenty-plus years, and also the impact of the COVID pandemic on their more recent activities and planning. The sector has developed significantly but remains poorly financed compared to other social-service sectors.
