Meet Our Team
The Charity Insights Canada Project (CICP) operates within Carleton University and follows established academic research governance and ethical standards. The project is guided by a leadership structure that supports rigorous research practices, operational accountability, and the responsible use of data.
Governance of the CICP includes academic oversight, project leadership, and strategic guidance to ensure that the work remains methodologically sound, responsive to sector needs, and accessible to public audiences.
In addition to internal leadership, the project benefits from external advisory input that helps ground the research in real-world nonprofit and charitable sector experience.
