Canada’s Charitable Sector is at a Tipping Point

At a Tipping Point: The Trilemma Facing Canada’s Charitable Sector

Rising demand, shrinking financial resources, and an overburdened workforce are creating a trilemma that threatens the sustainability of Canada’s charities.

Immediate action is needed to stabilize funding, support workforce retention, and build resilience against economic shocks.

The CICP’s latest publication, “At a Tipping Point: The Trilemma Facing Canada’s Charitable Sector”, provides timely data and insights that amplify the urgent cry of Canadian charities for support. With growing financial and economic uncertainty, the sector needs help—now.

We hope this briefing serves as a valuable tool for policymakers and funders as they consider the sector’s challenges and explore actionable solutions. Additionally, we hope it empowers those in the sector to amplify their voices and advance critical causes.
