Imagine Canada A national charitable organization whose cause is Canada’s charities and nonprofits. Strengthen the sector’s collective voice. Create opportunities for charities and nonprofits to connect and learn from each other. Build the sector’s capacity to succeed. Essentially, it is our our mission to support and strengthen charities and nonprofits so they can, in turn, support the Canadians and communities they serve.

Designed to strengthen public confidence in the charitable and nonprofit sector, the Standards Program offers accreditation to charities and nonprofits that can demonstrate excellence in five key areas: board governance; financial accountability & transparency; fundraising; staff management; and, volunteer involvement. Imagine Canada programs that support the sector

Public Policy Expertise Brian Emmett: Chief Economist for the Charitable Sector Stretch Tax Credit Charitable exemption - anti-spam legislation Reduced credit card fees Postage rates for charities

The Charitable And Nonprofit Sector In Canada ________________________________

The Sector More than 170,000 organizations in Canada Half of these are run entirely by volunteers 2 million people are employed by these organizations representing 11% of the economically active population More than $10 billion in individual donations 13 million volunteers contribute more than 2 billion hours Accounts for 8% of total Canadian GDP

The Types of Organizations Source: 2003 National Survey of Nonprofit and Voluntary Organizations

Types of Organizations that Canadians Support – by percentage of donations Source: CSGVP

Total Donations, 1984 to 2012 Source: CRA (T1)

New Research on Canadian attitudes to Charities _______________________________

Holiday Giving Intentions November 2014 Source: Leger Imagine Canada poll, Nov per cent of Canadians intended to donate to charity over the holidays. 81 per cent cited “helping the less fortunate” as their motivation to give. 33 per cent intended to volunteer their time, rather than money, to a charitable cause. 33 per cent want to set an example for their children or others about the importance of giving back.

Holiday Giving Intentions November 2014 Source: Leger Imagine Canada poll, Nov per cent planned to make a donation in someone’s honour in place of a traditional gift. 42 per cent say they are donating to experience the joy of giving and celebrate the spirit of the holidays. 61 per cent of those not making a charitable donation cite lack of funds as the reason.

Holiday Giving Intentions November 2014 Source: Leger Imagine Canada poll, Nov per cent of those surveyed think that charities spend too much on administration. Only 7 per cent disagreed with the notion that charities spend too much on administration. 39 per cent made a donation expressly because the charity had demonstrated that their donation would go “to the cause”.

Trust in institutions Only small business receives similar levels of public trust to charities. 19 Source: Talking About Charities, Muttart Foundation, 2015

Trust in professions Charity leaders rank behind only medical professionals in terms of trust. 20 Source: Talking About Charities, Muttart Foundation, 2015

Trust in specific types of charities Most specific types of charities are trusted less than charities as a general concept. 21 Source: Talking About Charities, Muttart Foundation, 2015

Shifts in trust over time Trust in many specific types of charities has decreased over time. Source: Talking About Charities, Muttart Foundation, 2015

Challenges Facing Canadian Charities In 2014 ________________________________

Continued concern about salaries

Continued concern about fundraising and administration costs Percentage of Canadians who say charities spend too much on fundraising: 52%* *Talking About Charities Survey, 2013 Percentage of Canadians who say charities spend too much on salaries & administration: 73%* *Talking About Charities Survey, 2013

Increasing demands for transparency and accountability

Criticism of the pace of international development

“Chilly climate” for political activity

Shrinking donor base

We Need A New Narrative, A New Conversation With Canadians About Our Work ________________________________

A Foundational Narrative - Background Current Issues – reflect a poor understanding our of sector: Bill C470 which would have capped salaries in our sector; Involvement in Public Policy; Focus on fund raising cost; Ratings organizations – evaluating charities but on what metrics; and Criticism of international development, why isn’t Haiti a G8 nation?

Revenue by source: core nonprofit sector, 2007 Source: Satellite Accounts, 2008

A Significant Economic Force Contribution to Gross Domestic Product Source: Nonprofit figures are from 2010 Satellite Accounts and CANSIM table Figures are in millions.

Narrative Tool Kit – First Elements, February 2014 Core Resource – details about the size, breadth and impact of the sector. Highlights include: the sector’s role in shaping public policy, the need for adequate compensation and an argument in favour of evaluating our work based on impact not overhead.
