At AFP Canada, we advocate for an environment that strengthens effective and ethical fundraising to encourage giving. Our vision is that more asking will lead to more giving and greater impact.
1. Designate a dedicated federal secretariat for the charitable sector in Canada.
2. Allocate funding to Statistics Canada annually for the purpose of collecting, analyzing and disseminating comprehensive data about the nonprofit sector, which includes the charitable sector. (Learn more by reading our pre-budget submission.)
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.
