AFP Policy Priority

Designate a dedicated federal secretariat for the charitable sector in Canada. AFP is calling on the federal government to create a secretariat for the charitable sector in Canada. With the increasing complexity of trade relations with the U.S., concerns about inflation and affordability, a permanent charitable sector secretariat would serve as a crucial advocate and bridge between charities and the federal government. It would empower charities to continue their vital work while also addressing the broader economic and social challenges and ripple effects posed by these new tariffs.

National Philanthropy Day

National Philanthropy Day®, officially November 15 every year, pays tribute to the extraordinary contribution that those involved in the philanthropic process have made to our communities. In 2012, Canada officially recognized this day. Throughout November, more than 50,000 people across North America celebrate National Philanthropy Day® by recognizing the extraordinary generosity and dedication of donors, volunteers and charities. Contact your chapter to find out how your community is celebrating! NPD celebrations are a great opportunity for government officials to highlight and celebrate the amazing contributions of our sector. We encourage MPs to make a statement about the charitable sector in the House of Commons and in social media.
