The Sector Monitor survey program was launched at the end of 2009 to regularly monitor the state of charities across the country and their ability to deliver their missions.

The goal of the Sector Monitor program is to provide relevant and timely information on the issues facing charities and nonprofits to the sector itself and to various sector stakeholders, including Imagine Canada members, policymakers, business leaders, the media and the Canadian public.

October 23, 2012. Imagine Canada releases sixth Sector Monitor report.

Findings indicate sector may face greater challenges in the coming year.

Responses to the most recent edition of the Sector Monitor indicate a decrease in confidence among charity leaders over the past year. More leaders are predicting their charity will be weaker, in terms of its ability to carry out its mission in the near- and medium-term and that the financial and human resources of their organization will decrease over the near-term. In terms of recent experiences, more leaders are reporting their organizations currently face increased demand but stagnant revenues, compared to a year ago and they are less likely to report increased expenditures.

The sixth and most recent edition of our Sector Monitor was conducted between June 19 and August 10, 2012.
