Nonprofits benefit everyone.
Even when we don’t see it.
Nonprofits are everywhere
Woven into everyday life, nonprofits make the world around us better, and we all benefit from them.
Have you been to a museum recently? Are your children in daycare? Did you take part in a fundraising campaign at your workplace this year - or donated clothing items to a shelter?
You’re already part of it.
One way or another, everyone benefits from nonprofit services - yet only 41% of Canadians say they know someone who has used a nonprofit's service.
From the summer camps you participated in as a child, to the hospital where you were born - a nonprofit was behind it.
