Charities in Canada with John Pellowe

There are approximately 85,000 charities across Canada.

Whether food banks, women's shelters, places of worship, or kids camps in the summer, charities and nonprofits significantly impact our communities.

Despite this, according to a recent study released by CanadaHelps, the number of Canadians making charitable donations has declined yearly this past decade. Surveys from a decade ago show that 82% of Canadians contributed to charitable organizations. That figure has dropped to 60% in 2023.

While the number of people donating to charities has decreased, the number of people seeking charity help has soared. One in five Canadians is estimated to be using charitable services to meet essential needs.

According to an Ipsos survey commissioned by CanadaHelps in 2023, almost one in seven said it was the first time they had relied on a charity's help. More than 57% of charities cannot meet the current levels of demand.

Those who are giving are giving more. The same CanadaHelps report shows that 2021 tax returns claimed charitable tax donations increased to $11.3 billion, up 43% from 2016.

These combined trends mean that many charities are vulnerable if those giving more cannot continue.

With the increasing need, it is time to roll up our sleeves and support the charitable sector. Despite this, new laws are putting some charities at even more risk.

John Pellowe, Chief Executive Officer of the Canadian Centre for Christian Charities, is here to discuss the issues. Their vision is for all Christian ministries to operate in an exemplary, healthy, and effective way so that they can fulfill their missions. Thanks for joining us as we discuss the state of Canada's charitable sector.
