2019 State of the Alberta Nonprofit Sector Report Launch

On November 7, 2019, CCVO launched the 2019 State of the Alberta Nonprofit Sector report at the latest Nonprofits at Noon luncheon. The 2019 report was informed by the province-wide survey and focus groups, as well as personal interviews with nonprofit leaders across Alberta.

In this current polarized political climate, nonprofits may be tempted by two options: either withdraw entirely from engaging in policy advocacy to avoid perceptions of partisanship; or engage in advocacy that aligns with political rhetoric from the government and the opposition.

CCVO encourages nonprofits to resist both of these alternatives and instead engage more deliberately and boldly in policy advocacy. Nonprofits have the expertise, experience, and perspectives needed to engage more actively in policy advocacy. These actions can help the sector move from filling in gaps, to creating solutions that improve social, economic, and environmental outcomes for all Albertans.
