ABSTRACT International NGOs (INGOs) in the global North have rapidly grown in number over the past two decades, the majority of which are grassroots organisations (GINGOs). Despite an abundance of research on “professionalised” INGOs, little empirical data is available to characterise GINGOs. This study constructs a dataset of 607 Canadian GINGOs based on the Canada Revenue Agency T3010 forms and organisation websites to answer three broad questions of GINGOs: Who are they? What is their programmatic foci? Where do they operate? The results offer a rich portrayal of GINGOs and situates their current and potential contributions towards international development goals.

加拿大的GINGO：他们是谁，他们在做什么，以及未来的角色是什么？

摘要在过去的二十年中，全球北部的国际非政府组织（INGO）的数量迅速增长，其中大多数是基层组织（GINGO）。尽管对“专业化”的INGO进行了大量研究，但很少有经验数据可用来表征GINGO。这项研究基于加拿大税务局T3010表格和组织网站构建了607个加拿大GINGO的数据集，以回答GINGO的三个广泛问题：他们是谁？他们的程序化重点是什么？他们在哪里运作？结果为GINGO提供了丰富的描写，并确定了GINGO对国际发展目标的当前和潜在贡献。
