Yet behind their impact lies a quieter issue: how they are funded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nearly two decades ago, a federal panel warned that government funding models needed to evolve to better support the sector. Today, many of those same challenges persist. Funding often falls short of covering true costs, arrives with tight restrictions, and operates on short timelines that make long-term planning difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our latest briefing note, <em>Financing Public Value: How Funding Design Affects the Impact of Canadian Charities<\/em>, explores how these funding structures shape what charities can achieve, and what they cannot. At a time of economic uncertainty and rising demand, the way funding is designed is not just an administrative detail but a critical lever for impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reimagining funding isn\u2019t simply about sustainability for charities. It\u2019s about strengthening one of Canada\u2019s key partners in delivering public value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"w-screen px-6 cu-section cu-section--white ml-offset-center md:px-8
