About the CICP
The Charity Insights Canada Project (CICP) aims to ensure that policymakers, practitioners, researchers, and the general public have accurate, timely, and comprehensive information about the charitable sector in Canada. Through weekly surveys and reports, an online interactive information and training hub, and regular publications, the CICP offers an overview of the trends, challenges, and opportunities facing the Canadian charitable sector.
The CICP has three fundamental goals
To inform
by regularly surveying a sample of registered charities in Canada to collect real-time data on the critical aspects, trends, and challenges at the forefront of the charitable sector.
To build
a lasting, sustainable, and flexible infrastructure to promote access and understanding of the data collected about the sector.
To strengthen
policymakers’ ability to develop evidence-based policies considering the sector’s needs and practitioners’ decision-making practices and strategic planning objectives.
We are committed to a systems-oriented and purposeful approach to closing the information gap about registered charities in Canada through regular surveys, research and policy briefs, and capacity-building to promote free and accessible data.
This project is made possible through a $3.4 million investment from the Alberta-based Muttart Foundation, the Lawson Foundation and Metcalf Foundations in Ontario, the Vancouver Foundation in British Columbia and an anonymous donor. Dr. Paloma Raggo, faculty member in the School of Public Policy and Administration and the Sprott School of Business, is the project lead.
This historic project brings together a diverse group of foundations to co-invest in a shared cause. This collective effort is unique and underscores the importance of the project and the value it can bring to communities across the country. The donor consortium is made of partners supporting our work and has demonstrated unparalleled leadership and long-term vision for the sector.
