CanadaHelps' 7th Annual Giving Report is out and there are some key findings for us all to consider going forward: ➮ 17.7% Canadians gave in 2021: This is a decline in the number of Canadians giving from 2013 to 2021. ➮ 57% of charities are unable to meet current levels of demand, which speaks to the gaps between the growing challenges and charities' abilities to provide support. ➮ 80% of those with many close friends donate, while just over half of those with very few close friends donate. https://lnkd.in/gWjKkjeQ Join us in making a difference, we need to move Canadians from caring about urgent causes to active participation in change.

Q: Is a Charity considered a Not-for-Profit in Canada❓ A: Yes, a charity is often referred to as a nonprofit organization (NPO) in Canada. Both charities and NPOs operate on a non-profit basis, meaning they do not exist to generate profits for individuals. However, it's important to note that charities and NPOs are defined differently under the Income Tax Act. Charities have obtained charitable status from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), which comes with certain benefits and obligations specific to charitable purposes.

According to a new Ipsos poll for CanadaHelps--one that reminds us of the ongoing support that #charities and #nonprofits require from #philanthropists--24 per cent of Canadians say they'll need support from a charitable organization with the next six months to meet their essential living needs, with 69 per cent pegging that need for support to #inflation and rapidly increasing cost of living expenses.

📢 Charity Commission Launches Inquiry into Fundraising Activities Amid Hamas Allegations 📜 On April 19, 2024, The Charity Commission initiated a statutory inquiry into fundraising activities tied to Aozma Sultana, who was sanctioned for allegedly supporting Hamas through Gaza Now. 📝 Sultana's involvement led to her automatic disqualification from charity positions. The investigation focuses on funds raised by companies she directs, potentially misused for Hamas promotion. The Charity Commission aims to determine the inquiry's scope and ensure accountability for charitable funds. ✅ The Commission encourages donations to registered charities, emphasizing transparency to support those in need during conflicts like the Israel-Gaza situation.

The Pareto principle in fundraising fascinates me. In many cases roughly 80% of income will come from 20% of donors. If your charity is confident that you know what you are doing and have a strong case for support, it helps to keep the faith and trust the process. The principle holds true for Ssembwa Orphanage Care Uganda. The children were thrilled yesterday to take delivery of a water tank thanks to a £830 contribution from a donor. This will enable them to drink fresh water and eradicate typhoid and dysentry which is currently rife. If your charity is falling short of fundraising targets. Please get a seasoned professional pair of outside eyes upon what you do. A sound strategy and the little mentoring will have a significant impact. #Fundraising #Mentoring #Strategy #Charity
