Sector Monitor v. 2, no. 1

Survey conducted: May 25 to June 30, 2011 

This Sector Monitor edition presents mid-2011 results. A total of 1,447 leaders of registered charities responded to our fourth Sector Monitor survey, which was open between May 25 and June 30, 2011. Throughout this report, we compare the results of the most recent survey with those of the three previous surveys.

“Although these findings are heartening, results are far from universally positive. A significant number of organizations continue to report challenges in a number of areas. Similarly, many operating charities continue to report flat revenues and increased expenditures,” shares Marcel Lauzière, Imagine Canada President & CEO. “Although a new optimism is in the air, major challenges remain, particularly with regards to adequate financial resources for organizations. We must also keep in mind that the survey responses were collected prior to recent economic turmoil in the United States and Europe.”
