Charity Insights Canada Project (CICP)
Now in our fourth year of research, the Charity Insights Canada Project (CICP) delivers real-time data on the challenges, trends, and opportunities shaping Canadian charities. Through our weekly surveys and interactive reports, we provide timely, evidence-based insights to help charities, policymakers, and researchers navigate a rapidly evolving sector.
Covering a wide array of topics – from funding and governance to emerging trends like AI, advocacy, and crisis preparedness – the CICP is a go-to resource for those seeking current, data-driven answers about the sector today. Whether you’re looking for insights on a specific issue or a broader sector-wide perspective, chances are, we already have the data. Explore our research, use it in your work, and let us help you stay informed.

What Our Panellists Are Saying
“The questions asked are thought-provoking and help me reflect more deeply about my organization’s operations.”
“I enjoy being able to add my thoughts on various aspects of our organization. We’re a very small organization so it’s been pleasing to have a chance to say what we think.”
“Very impressed with the way this is done in bite sized pieces. Involvement in this type of research, while very important, is usually very time consuming. This was not and I actually looked forward to it. I also looked forward to the speedy feedback, well done!”
