Carleton University\u2019s MPNL faculty team is launching a five-year, $3.4 million research project called the Charity Insights Canada Project<\/a>\u2014Projet Canada Perspectives des Organismes de Bienfaisance<\/a> (CICP-PCPOB). (Pour le fran\u00e7ais veuillez continuer ici<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through weekly surveys, the project will collect and share timely information about the Canadian charitable sector. The data generated will support the long-term economic viability, impact and resiliency of the sector by assisting policymakers in making evidence-based policy decisions, developing data capacity for practitioners, and expanding knowledge of Canada\u2019s philanthropic and nonprofit sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Led by Dr. Paloma Raggo<\/a>, assistant professor in the School of Public Policy and Administration<\/a>, the project is supported by the Muttart Foundation<\/a> (based in Alberta), the Lawson Foundation<\/a> and the Metcalf Foundation<\/a> (both in Ontario), the Vancouver Foundation<\/a> (in BC), and a fifth, anonymous donor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis project is historic in the way that it has brought together a diverse group of foundations to co-invest in a shared cause,” Dr. Raggo says. “That level of collective effort is unique and underscores the importance of this work to our sector and the value it can bring to communities across the country.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Canada\u2019s charitable sector is integral to the Canadian economy and to the economic opportunity, quality of life and well-being of many Canadians. The sector provides more than one in ten full-time jobs in Canada, supports individuals and communities in financial need, and advances causes that matter deeply to Canadians and the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The CICP-PCPOB will collect data from a representative panel of Canadian charities on a weekly basis. Data from this rapid response panel will be made available on the project\u2019s website for use and reference by the sector\u2019s stakeholders, including practitioners, policymakers and the public, in near real time. The CICP-PCPOB website will also feature a training hub to enable stakeholders to learn basic data literacy skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe CICP-PCPOB\u2019s proposed activities are complementary to the MPNL\u2019s plans for the research centre and Chair,\u201d says Dr. Susan Phillips<\/a>, the project’s policy lead, and professor and program director of the MPNL program. \u201cThe three initiatives work together and build momentum toward Carleton\u2019s efforts of becoming a national leader in the philanthropic data space.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
