Nonprofit and voluntary organizations, an important element of Canadian society, often address needs and interests of
citizens that governments and the private sector do not. Although the presence of these organizations is felt in virtually
every community, they have not been studied extensively. We have little knowledge of their numbers, their contributions,
or the resources they require to fulfill their missions.
The information collected by the National Survey of Nonprofit and Voluntary Organizations (NSNVO) is essential for
several reasons. It will help address concerns that the potential social, economic and cultural contributions of these
organizations to Canadian communities are not being fully realized and recognized. The research is a critical first step
towards enabling evidence-based policy development by governments and others to strengthen nonprofit and voluntary
organizations. It will also provide individual nonprofit and voluntary organizations with benchmark data against which to
compare their organizations’ experiences and characteristics. Last but not least, it will offer Canadians a richer understanding
of the role that nonprofit and voluntary organizations play in their lives.
