As I look into the future of how non-profits engage younger Canadians, I’m concerned about THREE important trends:
Gap in Strategy: 78% of Nonprofits have NOT implemented strategies for engaging Young Canadians
Dropping engagement: 13% of nonprofits experienced drop in donations from young people… fewer hourseholds supporting and fewer volunteers involved
Raising demand: 57% nonprofits with demand moderately or significantly exceeding their capacity
The Giving Report 2023 / Canada Helps
If you add to this nonprofit challenges related to leadership and turnover. This is indeed a crisis.
We want to help. Some of you know that each year January, we select one of our courses / services and we offer it at cost as a way to support nonprofits and giving back. This approach (teaching how to fish) is far more meaningful and helpful than a simple donation (giving a fish).
In view of these trends, we will be offering a 1-day bootcamp:
