The Giving Report 2025

Trends in charitable giving from 2018-2024; eighth edition

  • Total charitable contributions reached $12.8 billion in 2023, the highest on record, yet the donor base has shrunk 18% since 2020, with growth increasingly driven by wealthy, older Canadians rather than broad participation
  • Local causes surpassed health as the top online giving category in 2024, and donations to Indigenous-focused charities rose 416% since 2018, though they still represent only 0.8% of total donations
  • Monthly giving hit a record $86.9 million (18% of all online donations), securities donations grew 39%, and early 2025 giving surged 24%

The Impact of US Tariffs on Canada's NFP Sector (May 2025)
  • Tariffs impact the sector through: decreased funding, increased costs, and greater service demands
  • Estimated philanthropic giving could drop up to $100M in 2026 vs. pre-tariff expectations
  • 70%+ of donations come from 9% of donors giving $5K or more, so even modest pullback from major contributors could have outsized impact on local organizations, with small and rural nonprofits facing greatest vulnerability

Generosity in Canada: Generosity Index 2025 (Dec 2025)

Uses tax data to compare giving patterns across jurisdictions. Note: interpretations of this index are contested in the sector.

  • Fewer Canadians tax filers are donating (dropped to 16.8% in 2023), and those who do give are also giving a smaller proportion of their income
  • Every province saw a decline in donor participation between 2013 to 2023
  • American tax filers donate at roughly triple the Canadian rate, as of 2022

The Status of Canadian Fundraising 2025: A Benchmarking Report for the AI Era

Benchmarking on fundraising performance and attitudes toward AI/tech in fundraising.

  • AI adoption surging sharply, however governance has not kept pace, with only 11% of respondents having formal AI policy in place for 2025, up from 5% the previous year
  • Fewer than one third of respondents said they get the most out of their donor management system, a gap between technology investment and effective use
  • Ethical AI use and digital capacity are urgent discussions, with respondents ranking the top opportunities as: improved data management, seamlessly integrated technology, and training

Food Banks Canada (2025)

$7.76 : $1

An independent third-party estimate by Constellation Consulting Group found that Food Banks Canada generated $7.76 in social value for every $1 donated. The full methodology report has not been made publicly available.

Calgary Food Bank (2024)

$9.84 : $1

An independent third-party estimate by Constellation Consulting Group found that for every dollar donated to the Calgary Food Bank, the organization generates $9.84 in social value and potential societal savings. The study involved semi-structured interviews with 31 clients and a survey of 1,000 participants, with outcomes including improved food security, mental health, and financial stability.

Inn from the Cold (Family Homelessness Prevention, Alberta) (2023)

$6.79 : $1

An updated SROI analysis conducted by Constellation Consulting Group found that for every dollar invested, Inn from the Cold creates nearly $6.79 in social and economic value, experienced by families, governments, landlords, volunteers, and communities. The analysis used conservative estimates to avoid overclaiming.

BC Child and Youth Advocacy Centres (2022)

$5.54 : $1

In 2021/22, a $3.5 million investment generated an estimated $19.6 million in value across wellbeing outcomes, workforce quality, and system efficiencies in healthcare, education, justice, and policing.

2025 Canadian Nonprofit Sector Salary & Benefits Report (2025)
  • Salary growth has moderated compared to post-pandemic spike in 2023-2024; compensation rising fastest at senior levels (3.1%–7.1%); support staff (level 6) saw 14.9% increase in 2024
  • When indexed to 2020 levels, compensation growth for most staff levels has only marginally kept pace with or slightly lagged behind the Consumer Price Index — meaning many nonprofit workers have seen real wage stagnation through the cost-of-living crisis
  • Health and education organizations pay the most
  • Male Chief Executives earn 18% more than female counterparts on average, a gap that narrowed in 2023 but has since widened again; gap exists at all levels (2%–8%)
  • 58% of organizations offer retirement benefits to at least some employees; RSP plans considerably more common than pensions

2025 Changemaker Wellbeing Index (May 22, 2025)
  • 70% of non-profit workers feel burned out at least occasionally
  • 36% face poor or very poor wellbeing
  • Financial precarity is severe and unevenly distributed: 30% of nonprofit workers face food insecurity overall, rising to 49% among frontline service workers — rates that are disproportionately higher than those seen in the general Canadian workforce
  • 38% rarely or never save money from their salaries
  • 42% may quit within the next six months
  • Findings point to structural factors — particularly resource constraints, underfunding, and frontline working conditions — as key drivers of the wellbeing crisis, with the report calling on sector leaders, funders, and boards to take data-informed action to strengthen recruitment, retention, and organizational culture

  • Burnout is pervasive: 1 in 4 non-profit employees experience burnout often or extremely often; 1 in 3 non-profit leaders
  • Only about half of workers feel appropriately recognized; 1 in 3 have unhealthy recognition scores; workers with unhealthy recognition scores are 4x more likely to experience regular burnout – this is a powerful but underutilized lever
  • 1 in 5 respondents considering leaving their role in the next 6 months; top reasons are inadequate pay (61%), burnout (41%), and feeling underappreciated (37%)
  • Organizations with higher employee burnout deliver lower-quality community outcomes

What We're Hearing: Summer 2025 Report (October 2025)

National engagement findings feeding into the National Volunteer Action Strategy

  • Both formal and informal volunteering are in decline across Canada (from Statistics Canada GSS-GVP data), driven by shared pressures including burnout, financial trade-offs, and unsustainable working conditions
  • Costs of volunteering are a significant and often overlooked barrier to participation: many prospective volunteers are effectively priced out by expenses such as uniform requirements, training courses, parking, and criminal record checks — pointing to an urgent need for national approaches to stipends, subsidies, and shared infrastructure
  • The report calls for a reimagined, broader narrative of volunteering — one that recognizes mutual aid, grassroots organizing, kinship networks, and political engagement as legitimate forms of civic participation, and calls on the sector to redesign volunteer infrastructure to match how people actually want to contribute across different life stages and circumstances

Bridging the Digital Divide: A Strategic Vision for Canada's Nonprofit Sector (March 2025)
  • Sector-oriented synthesis focused on digital equity framing and implications for nonprofits; the report argues that nonprofits are uniquely positioned to address digital equity disparities given their proximity to marginalized communities
  • Digital Equity Iceberg strategic framework
  • Calls on the sector to move communities from digital consumers to digital creators, emphasizing that true digital equity encompasses not just hardware and internet connectivity, but meaningful content, the ability to create and share knowledge, and full civic and economic participation in the digital world
  • Consultation with 8,000 nonprofit professionals confirmed that technology adoption, cybersecurity, data management, and funding and skills gaps are the sector's most pressing digital challenges

The State of Artificial Intelligence Adoption in Canadian Nonprofits (Jan 2026, with Imagine Canada)
  • One of the first Canada-wide benchmark reports on nonprofit AI adoption
  • AI use is widespread but still shallow in scope: 80% of nonprofits report using AI in some way, yet half use it for only three or fewer organizational activities, with use concentrated in communications and fundraising (67%) and data and information tasks (50%) — and far fewer applying it to complex internal functions like strategy, HR, or program design
  • Primary barriers to adoption are skills, time, and knowledge; financial resources matter more for how extensively AI is used once adoption has begun
  • Governance is significantly lagging behind adoption: while majorities are aware of AI-related reputational (62%), legal and ethical (60%), and equity-reinforcing risks (54%), only 10% of nonprofits have formal AI policies in place, 21% are developing them, and nearly two thirds of AI-using organizations have no policies and no plans to create any
  • Organizations using AI extensively are more confident in its potential and less likely to view it as overhyped, while those with limited or no use are far more uncertain — pointing to a growing adoption divide within the sector that is likely to widen over time

The Province of BC Lobbyists Transparency Act (LTA) recommendations reflect non-profit sector advocacy

The Province of BC Lobbyists Transparency Act (LTA) recommendations reflect non-profit sector advocacy

by | Apr 27, 2026 | BC Non-Profit Network, Blog, Government Relations, Policy and Advocacy

On Thursday, April 23, 2026, the Province's Special Committee to Review the Lobbyists Transparency Act (LTA) completed their review and released their report of recommendations. Since 2020, when the LTA was significantly updated, Vantage Point has been engaging on this legislation, which includes registration and reporting requirements for organizations engaging public office holders, on behalf of the non-profit sector.

Vantage Point and the BC Non-Profit Network (BCNN) are very pleased to see our sector’s critical advocacy reflected in the report’s recommendations. This includes recommendations from the Committee to simplify and clarify reportable communications, remove the requirement to report meeting requests, and to amend and simplify gift rules – all of which directly reflect Vantage Point and the BCNN’s advocacy on this issue, as well as voices from the rest of the non-profit sector.

The message from the non-profit sector has been clear: The LTA’s current reporting requirements are both onerous and confusing, discouraging non-profits from engaging with elected and non-elected officials. In a BCNN survey, 75% of non-profit respondents agreed that the LTA impacts their overall ability to engage with the BC Government. Taken together, the Committee’s recommendations would significantly ameliorate the challenges our sector faces with the LTA’s requirements - and we are pleased our sector's strong voice has been heard by the Committee.

These recommendations are not yet substantive changes to the LTA's requirements. Vantage Point and the BCNN are eager to continue working with the government and our sector partners to incorporate these recommendations into legislated, permanent changes to the LTA, and we will keep our partners appraised of ongoing work. Our written submission for this review and a transcript of our appearance before the Committee is available below. The Committee’s full report and recommendations are below as well. We look forward to continued work on this file, and permanent improvements to the LTA.

From Global Goals to Local Action: Advancing Climate Action Through the Sustainable Development Goals

From Global Goals to Local Action: Advancing Climate Action Through the Sustainable Development Goals

by | Apr 2, 2026 | Blog

by Zahra Esmail, CEO at Vantage Point

We are living in a time when commitments to climate action and social inequality are being challenged and, in some cases, rolled back. The energy behind the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), adopted by every United Nations Member State in 2015, is beginning to fade in some spaces. In turn, the goals themselves can feel less urgent than they did a decade ago.

This is exactly the moment for civil society to step forward.

Non-profits are one of the primary ways these goals move from aspiration to action. Rooted in community, building trust over decades, and stepping into gaps that neither government nor the private sector can fill, non-profits play a critical role in translating global goals into local reality.

At Vantage Point, as an organization that serves and connects non-profits across BC, we are deeply committed to that work. The SDGs are not abstract to us. They reflect what our community is already doing every day.

This moment calls for greater visibility and renewed energy around these commitments. We are ready to do our part and to bring our community along with us.

At the same time, we’ll be honest. Until recently, we had not fully reckoned with what this means in practice for our own organization.

Our Learning Journey

When we embedded climate action into our current strategic plan, A Stronger, Brighter Future, we made our commitment tangible in three ways:

  • Strengthening our own internal climate action initiatives
  • Advancing more equitable and inclusive systems and practices for non-profits across BC
  • Delivering education programs that are accessible and grounded in Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI)

That commitment, in turn, sharpened our focus on the Sustainable Development Goals.

Building on this, our Board of Directors, who championed the climate commitment in our strategic plan, established a Climate Change Committee to take this work further. In partnership with senior staff, the Committee reviewed all 17 SDGs and identified where Vantage Point is meaningfully positioned to contribute and to be accountable.

We landed on eight priority goals:

E WEB Goal 04
E WEB Goal 05
E WEB Goal 08
E WEB Goal 10
E WEB Goal 12
E WEB Goal 13
E WEB Goal 16
E WEB Goal 17

You will notice Climate Action on that list not as a standalone effort, but woven throughout our work. These goals are interconnected by design. Reduced inequalities and climate action are not parallel paths; they are deeply linked. The communities most impacted by climate change are the same communities facing systemic inequities. And the non-profits doing the hardest work are often addressing both at once.

What Comes Next

For each of these eight goals, we have identified specific actions we will track and measure. Beginning with our next annual report, you will see SDG icons integrated throughout. These markers will highlight where our work connects to the broader global framework and will hold us accountable to showing up in those areas in a meaningful way.

Climate Action is Shared Work

We are also inviting our entire community to join us in this work. If you are a non-profit in BC, you are likely already contributing to these goals in ways both big and small.

Climate action is shared work. It belongs to governments, large corporations, non-profits of every size, and each of us as individuals within our communities.

By building our understanding of the SDGs, we strengthen our role as a sector that leads by example.

Together, we can make a meaningful difference.

Funding What Works: Strengthening BC’s Non-Profit Sector Through Multi-Year and Core Funding

by | Jan 29, 2026 | Blog, Policy and Advocacy

Enjoy this blog post? SUBSCRIBE to From our Vantage Point and enjoy similar free content.

Vantage Point is pleased to share our new policy paper, Funding What Works: Strengthening BC’s Non-Profit Sector Through Multi-Year and Core Funding. Developed to support our continued collective advocacy, following BC Non-Profit Recognition Day in October and Stretched Thin: 2025 State of BC's Non-Profit Sector Report, this paper builds on the priorities and experiences shared by non-profit leaders across British Columbia and strengthens the case for meaningful funding policy change.

The BC Non-Profit Network has identified two key policy recommendations that can help address the challenges identified through , improve service and program stability, and drive long-term community impact:

  1. Expand multi-year funding agreements.
  2. Recognize and resource administrative and core operating costs.

These policy recommendations have strong support across the sector and levels of government. They are solution-oriented, aiming to help address structural issues affecting the outcomes of the sector as a whole.

The paper provides essential background on the current non-profit funding landscape, examines the evidence for expanding multi-year funding, and makes the case for recognizing and resourcing administrative capacity and core expenses. We outline practical implementation options that governments and funders can adopt to better support the sustainability and impact of non-profit organizations..

We hope this resource supports your organization’s own advocacy efforts and helps advance a more effective, stable, and well-resourced non-profit sector across British Columbia.

The Province, Non-Profits to Celebrate
BC Non-Profit Recognition Day on October 30

VICTORIA, B.C. – Join us in celebrating the third annual BC Non-Profit Recognition Day!

B.C. Non-Profit Recognition Day, first proclaimed by the Province in 2023, highlights the sector’s significant contribution to the social and economic fabric of our province. It celebrates resilient workers and frontline champions who make an enormous difference with their time, talent, imagination, and skills, and who are passionate about building strong, connected communities.

The non-profit sector supports all facets of life, from housing and poverty reduction to the arts, the environment, childcare and much more. The sector motivates people dedicated to careers that advance social change. Its grassroots proximity to the community uniquely positions the sector to respond quickly to local and community needs.

B.C. Non-Profit Recognition Day also recognizes the ongoing need for support and partnerships to help these organizations respond to increased service pressures during uncertain times.

This announcement comes on the heels of the new 2025 State of BC’s Non-profit Sector survey report called “Stretched Thin”, conducted by Vantage Point and the BC Non-Profit Network.

More than 500 non-profit leaders across B.C. shared their perspectives, leading to four key findings about non-profits across the province:

  • Facing more severe community challenges, and a greater demand for programs, services and activities.
  • Working through tight financial times, with flat revenues and increasing costs.
  • Prioritizing staff retention and support, as people are at the heart of community impact.
  • Investing in fund development, planning, and governance to adapt under pressure.

Currently, B.C.’s non-profit sector represents 377,000 jobs and employs a diverse workforce that is 69% female, 34% immigrants, 5% Indigenous, and 37% visible minorities. In 2023, the sector contributed $31.8 billion to our province’s GDP, underscoring that non-profits are essential to B.C.'s health and vitality.

Despite these challenges, the sector continues to persevere.

This B.C. Non-Profit Day, we’re recognizing that many organizations are finding ways to adapt, strengthen operations, and support the communities they serve. Now is the time to help keep our province’s safety net robust for years to come by recognizing non-profits that save lives and keep our communities healthy, more inclusive and connected.

QUOTES:

“People in B.C. are feeling the pressure of increased cost of living, climate emergencies and the uncertainty of U.S. tariffs, and many rely on community programs and non-profits for vital support. Through it all, non-profits continue to deliver critical services, strengthen communities and support people across the province.  On B.C. Non-Profit Recognition Day, we celebrate the thousands of non-profits helping build a stronger, more connected B.C. Thank you for the incredible work you do every day.”

  • Parliamentary Secretary for Community Engagement and Non-profits Amshen – Joan Phillip

“BC Non-Profit Recognition Day reminds us that the work of non-profits is not peripheral—it’s essential. It’s an opportunity to celebrate the people and organizations who dedicate their energy to creating stronger, healthier, and more connected communities. This vital work doesn’t happen by accident. It’s made possible by the passion, commitment, and collaboration of people who believe in something larger than themselves, working toward a common good. Today, we honour the vision, leadership, and dedication of those working across the non-profit sector—their work is a testament to what’s possible when we invest in people, purpose, and collective progress.”

  • Zahra Esmail, CEO of Vantage Point

“As non-profit charities embedded in communities across the province, the YMCAs of BC see firsthand how our sector is vital in supporting people where needs are growing and systems are stretched. Together, non-profits help foster healthier, more resilient communities—powering BC’s social and economic wellbeing.”

  • Heidi Worthington, CEO of YMCA BC (on behalf of the YMCAs of BC)

"We appreciate the Province of BC's proclamation of BC Non-Profit Day, recognizing the vital role our sector plays. As a modern charity, United Way BC is proud to collaborate across and with communities to drive innovative, local solutions. The strength of BC’s non-profits lies in their grassroots impact and unwavering commitment to community wellbeing."

  • Michael McKnight, President & CEO, United Way British Columbia

“No matter where you live or what your circumstances may be, non-profits touch the lives of every British Columbian, whether in obvious or more subtle ways. That’s why Vancouver Foundation is proud to celebrate BC Non-Profit Day, to take this moment to reflect on how non-profits care for us and stitch the fabric of our communities together.”

  • Kate Hammer, Acting CEO, Vancouver Foundation

“More than ever, charitable organizations are essential to delivering vital services to communities throughout the province. BC Non-Profit Recognition Day comes at an important time, emphasizing the need for a sustainable sector that makes our communities thrive during unpredictable times. Thank you to all the staff, volunteers, and supporters who are making a lasting impact.”

  • Sandra Richardson, CEO, Victoria Foundation

“At YWCA Metro Vancouver, our commitment to gender equity gives us a clear view of the vital role the non-profit sector plays in supporting the health and well-being of our communities. Every day, we see how these organizations help women and gender-diverse people build stability and opportunity, while also employing thousands of women whose leadership and contributions strengthen our province. On BC Non-Profit Recognition Day, we celebrate the compassion, dedication and innovation that drive this sector and help create a more just, inclusive and equitable British Columbia.”

  • Erin Seeley, CEO, YWCA Metro Vancouver

“B.C.’s 31,000 nonprofits strengthen every part of community life—from housing and health to education, the environment, arts and recreation. This sector delivers essential services and meets growing demands to keep our province running. On BC Non-Profit Recognition Day, the Pemberton Valley Trails Association (PVTA) celebrates the ecosystem of nonprofits we’re a part of—one that links people, places and possibilities across B.C.”

  • Kailey Morin, Steering Committee Member of the BC Nonprofit Network, Vice President of the PVTA.
